A Ruston High School student was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly shared an explicit video of a juvenile on a social media platform.
Zyhiem J. McCallister, 17, of Ruston, was arrested September 18 after an investigation by the the LPSO school resource officer assigned at RHS.
The SRO was contacted by a parent in late August reporting the video had been sent to a friend of the victim through Instagram. The victim said the video had been sent without her knowledge or consent.
McCallister was questioned about the video and said he had sent it on social media by accident. His phone was seized and a search warrant was obtained to search for the video on his phone.
After the video was retrieved, McCallister was arrested on a charge of nonconsensual disclosure of a private image. He was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
