Colorado authorities are investigating the sharing of nude photos involving half a high school football team, NBC News reported.
The investigation caused school officials to forfeit Friday’s game, which is the last in the season, against Discovery Canyon.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the school district announced that a number of students, including a large number of the high school’s football players, were implicated in texting photos exposing themselves, according to NBC News.
"This behavior is not representative of what we teach our kids," Cañon City Schools Superintendent George Welsh told NBC station KOAA. Cañon City is a town of about 16,300 about 50 miles southwest of Colorado Springs.
The district said it received anonymous tips about the alleged sexting on Monday and turned the investigation over to the police department.
