Charges have been referred to the Lake County state’s attorney’s office against three Warren Township High School freshman boys, Gurnee police said in a statement. Each could face one count of distribution of child pornography, police said. They have been released to their parents.

An investigation found another Warren student, a freshman girl, was the victim of alleged cyberbullying and sexting, police said.
