ST JOHN’S, Antigua – An investigative team has been put in place to probe pornographic videos allegedly involving students.It was set up by Education Minister Dr Jacqui Quinn-Leandro and will be headed by Director of Education Jacintha Pringle.
The investigative team will seek to identify students involved in the sex tapes, their ages, parents as well as their partners.
Once those matters are determined, the ministry will collaborate with the police and ministry of social transformation and welfare where necessary.
For several weeks, the short videos have become viral on social media, especially among Blackberry users.
As many as six pornographic videos showing students in school uniforms and clearly showing their faces have been in circulation.
The minister described the disturbing trend as a matter of grave concern to education officials.
Pringle will get assistance from Senior Education Officer Clare Browne and Education Officer responsible for Health and Family Life Education Andrea Airall.
More education officials would be assigned to the team if the need arises.
Meantime, Dr Quinn-Leandro said the team would also be reviewing the current cellular phone policy in schools.
