Two female high school students from Barrington, RI, aged 15 and 16, have been charged by the police, after they were found in possession of a knife at school.

Apparently the girls were about to confront a male student who was showing a cell phone picture or videotape of him and the 15 year-old girl in a sex act to classmates.

An assistant principal at the girls’ school became aware of the girls’ intentions when some students saw the two girls exchanging the knife near a locker. Police were called and have charged the girls with possession of a knife on school grounds.

Barrington police have also seized the cell phone with the explicit material and once a search warrant is received they will examine the boy’s phone to determine if charges should be brought against the boy and if so, what they should be.
