The incident happened in Connecticut in the fall of 2020.

Late on Friday, May 28, in Fairfield County, members of the Newtown Police Department charged the local youth for cybercrimes.

The arrest was made at the conclusion of a six-month-long police investigation, of unknown persons accessing Google classrooms at Newtown High School and using racial epithets, in an abusive and disruptive manner.

School Resource Officer William Chapman led the probe which required the use of multiple search warrant applications and computer forensics to be served on Internet platforms allegedly used by the suspected juvenile, according to Newtown Police.

The juvenile was charged with the following crimes:

  • Three counts of ridicule on account of race
