Boasts about sexual conquests on a now-deleted Web page could trigger felony charges against a popular Rogers High School student athlete and others, the latest twist in a swirl of accusations, comments and protest involving social media.
The furor in the Elk River Area School District on Tuesday transcended the dispute over a controversial tweet by the student and exposed the sexually explicit and often vicious exchanges that fill popular online pages created by students at many Minnesota schools. The anonymous posts include bragging messages, accusations and insults directed at students, teachers and others.
Rogers Police Chief Jeff Beahen said the “Rogers Confessions” page on ask.fm attracted many such “sexually charged” submissions. Some referred to a physical education teacher at the high school who was also the target of a Twitter exchange several days ago that led to a more-than-two-month suspension of senior Reid Sagehorn. Sagehorn, the 17-year-old captain of the school’s football and basketball teams, is accused of tweeting, apparently sarcastically, that he “actually, yes” was in an improper relationship with her. “It’s like screaming ‘Fire!’ in a crowded theater or ‘I have a bomb’ on an airplane,” Beahen said Tuesday of the possible felony charges, not long after supporters of Sagehorn held a protest outside the school. “If you say something on a very public forum, there are consequences. This young, innocent teacher is the victim here.”

C’mom it’s a “joke”. Ha-ha. I say hammer the snot nosed bastard. Civil and or criminal Either way, the punk will think twice to bear false witness.
You have to put your head between your legs and squint hard to think he was accusing her of anything.
I find it amusing that when the story originally came out people were protesting the 10 week suspension as harsh.
Perhaps it is but that is now the least of this kids worries.
Be sure to cross your arms, stamp your foot and stick your tongue out when you say that =P
Words mean something.
No.
Oh the irony.
10 weeks means an honor student and great kid doesn’t graduate.
Pretty caviler attitude when you are talking about ruining an innocent kid’s entire life.
TS. He can switch schools or there’s always summer school. Kids are resilient, he will rebound. He got kicked out of the national honor society tho. That knocked him down a notch. Hopefully at the end of all this he will be a better person for it.
It's not the end of the world and he has demonstrated that he is a highly motivated mover and a shaker. He will probably be just fine and hopefully not turn into a bitter alcoholic like you.
Just kidding!!!! See? I can say anything I want if I add just kidding at the end.
He didn’t care what would happen to the teacher either. Perhaps he can do a Clintonian apology. Is that in order? Put some ice on it. Wouldn’t want to hurt junior now would we?
That was unkind.
I like the cut of your jib, kid. Do you have her number?
He didn’t do anything to the teacher.
Do you have any sense of proportion?
You can say anything you want but seem to be incapable of saying anything rational.
Have you no sense of propriety?
