A Maryland high school issued an apology Friday after an employee accidentally sent sexually explicit photos to the entire student body, according to school officials.
Principal Taryn Washington of Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School in Prince George’s County sent a letter to the students’ families Friday informing them of the incident, claiming the employee “inadvertently” sent an email to all the students with the photos.
Washington said school administrators immediately tried to retract the email, but many people saw the photos and they were shared with others.
“I ask that all students, as responsible online citizens, not share the photos via email, social media, or other means,” Washington stated.

Fox News Digital has contacted Washington for more information on those steps and to see if the person is still employed at the school.
