Teen Suspended In Connection With 'Top 25' List

The Mt. Lebanon School District is responding to a list of raunchy ratings about its students.

The "Top 25" list of 2006 grades high school girls on their body parts, and it also describes in crude detail sexual information about the girls. In one case, a racial slur was used.

The list was allegedly compiled by a male Mt. Lebanon senior who then e-mailed the document to a college friend, according to investigators.

Channel 11 News learned a 17-year-old boy has been suspended in connection with the list. It's not clear how long that student will be suspended or if other students will be punished.

About two dozen teens are also said to be loosely involved in the case.

The superintendent, George Wilson, said he was appalled to hear about the list and assured parents the situation is being treated very seriously.

In his statement Thursday, Wilson said, "No one can begin to understand the hurt, embarrassment and humiliation these young women have had to endure. Those proven to be responsible will receive consequences that include disciplinary action, a requirement for atonement and character education."

In addition, Channel 11 was told the police investigation may conclude Friday and be turned over to the district attorney's office for a recommendation.

Charges could include harassment and possibly ethnic intimidation.
