Snapchat - Inappropriate photos

Wanting opinions here please. Over the weekend DN (6th form) received an unprompted dick pic from some guy in her year, someone she's never really spoken to and who is a loud boy from the large 'popular' gang of boys. DN is naturally upset about this unwanted intrusion but the boy is now claiming she initiated contact and it was suggestive. DN doesn't know what to do as she feels he shouldn't get away with a. sending her a picture like that and b. accusing her of initiating it. As it's snapchat there's no evidence. She's not one to enjoy attention and worries that informing school will do exactly this and people will be talking about her. Any thoughts?

It's called cyber flashing and is illegal. I’d report to police. They can (unsure if they ‘will’ but that’s another issue) work with Snapchat to retrieve the image.

100% report

Hmm. I would ask the Head of Year to intervene. I 100% accept it is not the school’s responsibility, but having seen our Head of 6th form go into full gear with boys that do this it’s shock and awe at its finest.

Thank you all. I am not sure what DN will do as she feels she can't bear the thought that people will be talking about her.

Reassure her that she isn't the problem. He is. By not saying anything she is allowing it to happen

And well done her for telling you.

'By not saying anything she is allowing it to happen'
Thanks but no, definitely won't be saying this to her.
