Charges possible in Calif. yearbook sex act photo

BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif. (AP) — Detectives say child sex charges could be filed against a Southern California teenager whose hand is shown up the dress of a 15-year-old girl in a yearbook photo.

Students at Big Bear High School were asked to turn in their yearbooks last week after the photo was discovered inside the memory book.

San Bernardino County sheriff’s detective Jeremiah MacKay says the background of a school dance picture shows the 17-year-old boy’s hand inside the girl’s clothing in a way that suggests a sex act.

MacKay told the Riverside Press-Enterprise Monday that the investigation is complete and reports will be turned over to the district attorney’s office for possible filing of charges.

Most of the yearbooks were collected at the 838-student Big Bear Lake school 70 miles east of Los Angeles.
