VANCOUVER – Three teenage boys have pleaded guilty in a sexting scandal in Kamloops.

The 15-year-old boys, who all go to separate schools, were charged with possession and distribution of child pornography but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of criminal harassment.

The Crown says the boys coerced dozens of girls, between 13 and 15 years old, to send nude photos of themselves on social media sites like Snapchat.

The boys managed to save the images and circulated them online.

The Crown is asking for a year’s probation and a ban on mobile devices that can take pictures or connect to the Internet.
