DA: Bristol Township middle school sex video may be case of incest

BRISTOL TWP., Pa. -- Police are investigating an apparent sex tape involving juveniles that has been circulating among middle school students in Bristol Township.

Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler tells Action News the video depicts middle school aged children having what appears to be sex and says it may be a case of incest.

Investigators say the video was quickly shared among Franklin D. Roosevelt Middle School students Tuesday night.

A concert was being held at the school and students were caught watching the video on cell phones.

"The safety and wellbeing of the Bristol Township School District students is always our top priority that's why we are so disturbed by a situation that was brought to our attention yesterday," Superintendent Sam Lee said.

The District Attorney says the two caught engaged in the sex act may have been recorded without their knowledge.

Sources say one of the two depicted in the video goes to Roosevelt.

Bristol Township Police Chief Lt. John Godzieba says it didn't appear the video was shot on school property.

Police have confiscated at least 10 cell phones and are now beginning to conduct interviews.

"This might take a little while. It's not going to be done overnight. There's a lot that's involved in this. We want to make sure we do a complete and thorough investigation on this," Bristol Police Lt. Terry Hughes said.

A recently passed law makes it illegal for anyone under 18 to distribute nude images even if it's between two consenting minors.

Both the person sending and receiving such images can be charged.

A letter was sent home to parents informing them of the incident.

"It's awful. It's really very scary. Kids that young shouldn't even be thinking about things like that today," parent Colleen Costello said.

"We've taken initiative and effort to warn our students of the dangers of the situations like this we are encountering currently," Lee said.

Investigators are still trying to determine the origin of the video.

If you are a Roosevelt parent and your son or daughter has a copy of that video, you are being urged to contact Bristol police.
