But, just 197 miles away, on a quiet, grassy campus, nestled in a Pennsylvania suburb, a group of boys were brewing an eerily similar scandal of their own - only these boys were in high school, and the girls in the pics they were sharing were teens, mostly under 18. It became a national news story, and the fraternity was suspended for three years. At Penn State this past March, members of Kappa Delta Rho fraternity were caught posting photos of passed out, naked and half-naked women to a Facebook page, without consent.
We’re used to hearing stories like this out of universities. “It was honestly terrifying,” Madilyn told me over the phone. Another folder, “miscellaneous,” contained more of her photos. She says she discovered an entire folder dedicated to her, labeled with her name, and full of topless pictures she'd sent a boyfriend, when she was 16. That is, until a friend called while she was at the salon, and said, “I just saw pictures of you naked.” Madilyn asked a classmate for a link to the Dropbox, an online file-sharing service, and opened it up.
Madilyn, now 18, had heard rumors of the pictures a few days earlier, but didn’t think anything of it. Supposedly, a few of her male classmates had started a not-so-secret Dropbox account, and filled it with 300 nude photos of girls in their class - and Madilyn was one of them. *Madilyn, a recent graduate of North Penn High School, was at her hairdresser on a Wednesday in March when she got the call.
