MANHATTAN -- A 14-year-old boy was arrested for alleged sexual bullying of multiple girls through the use of popular app, Snapchat, that often led to alleged sexual acts during lunch breaks at a Manhattan school.

According to the NYPD, the boy is facing multiple charges, including promoting sexual performance of a child as well as forcible touching, after the boy allegedly forced girls to send naked pictures over Snapchat and exposed himself to them on FaceTime.

The boy, who attends Simon Baruch Middle School, located on 330 E. 21st St., in Manhattan, allegedly told the teenage girls he would expose them if they did not play along with the cyber exposures.

However, the charge of forcible touching also translates to some of the alleged bullying taking place in person, like during lunch breaks at school.

The NYPD says the bullying began last October and ended last Thursday when detectives arrested the boy. The 13th Precinct handled the case, according to a spokesperson.

The allegations have the parents of students stunned.

While mothers like Stephanie Morrissey says she is upset at the school for not informing them of what the NYPD says has been going on for months, she does add, the school has been proactive surrounding cyber bullying.

"They do have actual meetings that parents can go to about social media and they also have classes for the kids as well," Morrissey said.

The Department of Education says the school made the NYPD aware of the situation when they learned of it.

A spokesperson added that the investigation is ongoing, but they are providing support to those children who may have been victims.
