Two boys from Lower Saucon Township and one from Hellertown tricked another boy into sending them a nude “selfie” by posing as a woman on a website, according to a police report cited in stories by both the Morning Call and the Express-Times.

After the boys obtained the photo on Oct. 17, they allegedly forwarded it to others in the Saucon Valley School District, both newspapers reported.

The three boys police say pulled the prank have reportedly been charged with transmission of sexually explicit images by a minor.
