Student Charged Following Offensive Email To Peers

(CBS) – Palatine police say an 18-year-old Fremd High School senior is responsible for an email with graphic and offensive images that was sent to students at Fremd and Palatine High School earlier this week.

Alec S. Kuznitsky of Schamburg was charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, Palatine police said in a news release.  Kuznitsky has been released on a recognizance bond and was ordered to appear in court March 10.

Several students at the two Palatine high schools received an email containing what were described as "graphic and offensive" images. A student told CBS 2 the email included images of someone's buttocks.

Kuznitsky confessed to a Fremd staff member at school that he had sent the offensive email and later talked with police, authorities said.
