KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) —
An Atlanta-area high school student is facing a felony charge after being accused of secretly recording a sex act between two other students in a school bathroom.

News outlets cite an arrest warrant that says the 17-year-old boy reached over a closed bathroom stall at Harrison High School and recorded a 15-year-old girl with a 16-year-old boy. That video spread via social media, air drop and group chats.

An assistant principal notified police after discovering the video last Wednesday. According to the warrant, the 17-year-old told administrators he took the video because he didn't understand how the school could let the act happen.

Cobb County police say the sex act was consensual and the students were recorded without their knowledge. The teen is charged with eavesdropping-surveillance, a felony.

1. They'll probably slap him with some child pornography charges as well

If kids taking a selfie of themselves for a range of normal reasons can be charged with that...

2. This was a stupid thing to do and worse if he distributed the video via social media.

He will be lucky if he doesn't get slapped with kiddie porn charges.

3. It would be interesting to learn

just how the assistant principal "discovered" the video.

4. It's unfortunate that the couple had no other private place

for what they were doing. Kids have sex with each other. They always have. Privacy is hard to come by for teens.

The 17 year old with the camera? He's a creep.
