DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. (CHICAGOPRESSRELEASE.COM) – Three former or current west suburban Downers Grove North High School students have been charged with harassing one of their teachers, a Naperville woman whose Facebook and e-mail accounts were allegedly hacked into and compromised by the trio.
Courtney Hughes, 18, of Woodridge faces trial on two charges of computer tampering and one count of harassment via an electronic communication device.
Kameron Rush, 18, of Downers Grove is charged with two counts of computer tampering. Derek Smith, 19, of Woodridge faces trial on one count of harassment via an electronic communication device. All of the charges are misdemeanors.
Hughes surrendered Tuesday afternoon at the Naperville police station, according to a written police report. Rush and Smith were arrested earlier.
The three are charged with using their computers between Dec. 27 and mid-February to harass the teacher, Naperville police Sgt. Gregg Bell said Thursday. Hughes is a former student at the school, but Bell was uncertain whether Rush and Smith are current or former students.
Naperville police have jurisdiction over the case because the alleged harassment was discovered on the victim’s home computer. Bell said he did not know what subject the instructor teaches, but that she is one of the school’s softball coaches.
Hughes allegedly “elected to get together with a couple of other students (Rush and Smith) and access the teacher’s Facebook account and her e-mail, and compromised the two,” Bell said. They allegedly made changes to the teacher’s Facebook page and e-mail, although Bell said he did not know what those changes entailed.
Bell said a specially trained police officer accessed the teacher’s computer and traced the alleged tampering back to the suspects.
“Some sort of telephone harassment was also going on” against the teacher, Bell said. A police report did not provide details of that reputed crime.
A motive for the alleged campaign against the teacher was not known.
Hughes, Rush and Smith are free on bail. All three have preliminary court dates pending in DuPage County Circuit Court in Wheaton.
