HS senior charged with stealing explicit cellphone pics
BENSALEM >> A high school senior’s voyeurism has landed him in the unwanted spotlight.
Eric Word, 19, was charged Thursday with borrowing a 19-year-old’s cellphone and downloading two explicit photos without her knowledge or consent, Bensalem police announced. The photos depicted the 19-year-old and another 18-year-old female in their bra and underwear, police said. But police were on the cusp of something bigger. As police completed a fo-
rensic download of Word’s cellphone, they found videos of him having sex with at least two females. One of the girls was a 14-year-old girl, police said.
Authorities also found several other pictures of young females wearing “only a bra and underwear.” Police said they are in the process of identifying all the girls depicted in the pictures.
Word, a senior at Bensalem High School, is charged with computer theft, corruption of minors and invasion of privacy. He was arraigned on the charges Thursday night.
