The University of Pennsylvania has decided to drop all charges against a student who had posted pictures online of fellow students having sex against a dormitory window. University officials released this statement late Thursday:
The University has decided not to pursue disciplinary proceedings. We are disturbed by the photographer’s conduct in this matter. We are concerned about the wide dissemination of the intimate photos in a manner and to the extent that subjected another member of the Penn community to embarrassment and ridicule. We have asked the student photographer to apologize and sincerely hope he does.
The student had been charged with sexual harassment and misuse of electronic resources. No apologies were made, but the charges were dropped nonetheless.
