FARMINGTON, Utah (AP) -- Police are questioning a group of teenagers accused of trading nude pictures over cell phones.

Farmington Police Lt. Shane Whitaker says six or so Farmington Junior High School students took pictures of themselves and then shared the naked images.

A parent of one of the kids found the pictures on their child's cell phone and called police. Detectives say the 13- and 14-year-old boys and girls questioned said they took the pictures as a joke, but it's potentially a crime.

Police say they plan to turn the investigation over to the Davis County attorney by the end of the week to decide if charges will be filed.
