Adult Arrested In Peters Township Sextortion Ring

An adult has been arrested in connection with a high school sextortion ring that was discovered earlier this year in Peters Township.  Authorities say they arrested Aaron White because  he was allegedly exchanging sexually explicit text messages, videos and pictures with a teenage boy who was already a victim of a sex trafficking and sextortion operation that focused on Peters High School students — and was allegedly run by their senior class president, Zachariah Meyers.  Detectives say they found White’s messages when they searched the victim’s phone – and saw White was communicating with the boy through Snapchat, under the username “Whitey_1896.”  Police say they were able to trace the account to a PCT.edu email address, which is the email domain for Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport.  White is free on bond and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in August.
