Never in her wildest dreams did Green think she would lose nearly three times that amount. In less than a year, Green has lost 216 pounds.

A 17-year-old boy who allegedly took upskirt videos of female students at Union High School is now also accused of hacking into numerous social media accounts and sharing nude photos.

Vancouver police began investigating Sept. 18 after a female student told the school resource officer that someone hacked into her social media account, accessed nude photos that were kept in a private section of the account and then distributed the photos to other students.
