Congle Zhu, 19, of Elizabethtown, has been arrested and charged with engaging a high school student with “unlawful contact” and child pornography-related offenses, the release shows.
The Elizabethtown police received a tip about the relationship between two students at the Elizabethtown high school in Oct. 2021, according to the release.
During the course of their investigation, the police learned Zhu, a student and fellow female student “were exchanging sexually explicit photographs, videos, and conversations” while the girl was under the age of 18, the police say.
“Once the full scope of the investigation was clear,” police and Elizabethtown Area school district officials filed the complaint “as quickly as possible,” as stated in the release.
Arrest and search warrants for Zhu were served on Feb. 22 and by 9:15 a.m., Congle Zhu was taken into custody without incident, the police say.
Zhu was released to house arrest on a $20,000 bond with a number of additional conditions.
Additional details were not available when Daily Voice reached out to officials on Tuesday afternoon.
