HUDSON — Two teenagers have been accused of distributing a collage of naked pictures of a female classmate at Hudson High School to embarrass her. Tyler Schultz and Michael Meyer-Senty, both 17, were charged with misdemeanor being party to defamation of character in the April 1 incident that started when a girl used her cell phone to send nude pictures of herself to boyfriends, according to a criminal complaint.

"Students today are exposed in a way that hasn't happened in the past because of technology," the superintendent said.
Schultz said he asked other students for pictures of the girl, and several students sent him "lots" of them from their cell phones, the complaint said.
"The young lady did admit that she had sent naked pictures of herself to past boyfriends," the complaint said. "The young lady said that she was very upset about the matter and the collage of pictures being seen by other students."
Schultz told investigators he was upset with the girl for accusing him and Meyer-Senty of throwing a bowling pin through glass on the front door of her home, the complaint said.
Schultz made a collage of 11 colored pictures of the girl showing "bare breasts and pubic area" and added this notation:
"Let everyone witness your foolishness...,let us see how your (sic) fare when your world is turned upside down...you lose,"
followed by the girl's name, the complaint said.
He said he asked Meyer-Senty, a friend, to distribute five copies of the collage in the locker room.
Daniel DeMaio, the attorney for Meyer-Senty, said the teen would fight the charge. "I don't believe there is a crime here and certainly not defamation," DeMaio said.
