The Maricopa County Attorney's Office announced Wednesday that they will not prosecute Hunter Osborn, a 19-year-old student at Red Mountain High School in Mesa, on a felony charge of furnishing harmful items to minors in the case.

Mesa police arrested Osborn after they were alerted Saturday to a team photo that showed the teenager exposing his penis through the top of his waistband, The Associated Press reported.

Osborn admitted to exposing himself, police said, saying he committed the act on a dare and was disgusted by his behavior, according to The Associated Press.

The Mesa Police Department closed the case after an online petition urged them not to press charges against Osborn, news station ABC15 Arizona reported.

Osborn had also faced 69 counts of misdemeanor indecent exposure, the news station reported, but it's not clear whether he will be formally charged.

The Associated Press reports that Mesa police say that the case will be closed because all parties involved no longer seek prosecution.
