Students at Titusville High School in Florida were exposed to a pornographic video during an online class. While the school said the call was quickly terminated after the video started to play, one parent said it was on the screen long enough for students to record a video of what was going on.
Dave Cavolo told WESH that his daughter felt "victimized" after the incident. He said that she provided a statement to the police, hoping it will help them catch the perpetrator.
"Not only does she feel victimized by what she saw, and she keeps telling me, 'I can't stop reliving this,' I understand that but I wanted her to grab some of her personal power back, so the police officer swore her in, and she gave testimony under oath what she witnessed," Cavolo told the news station.
School officials said they are working with the police to find out who was responsible for playing the pornographic video and promised to increase security protocols and provide additional training to staff members to ensure nothing like this happens again.
"We have worked closely with our educational technology team as well as the administration at THS to reinforce security measures and protocols as well as provide additional training. The incident was reported to both police and Zoom security for further investigation. While incredibly frustrating, we want to assure our families that we will continue to do all we can to provide a safe learning environment in the midst of a very challenging and unusual school year," Brevard Public Schools spokeswoman Katherine Allen said in a statement.
