How to see where you are on someone’s Best Friends list on Snapchat


was on her camera roll from a while ago,” police said.

That same day, police said, Kazimer sent a screenshot image of the video to a group chat, according to police.

Police provided excerpts in the criminal complaint of several exchanges among students discussing the images over social media.

The students were identified only by their Snapchat usernames. Among them, police said, was Kazimer, who police said posted as tigerray17.

That was the same username that sent the video to the unnamed witness, police said.

Police used a search warrant and conversations on Snapchat to link Kazimer to the tigerray17 account and the dissemination of the explicit images.

“A review of Rachel Kazimer’s Snapchat conversations further indicated that Kazimer had accessed Victim #1’s Snap Inc. account and obtained the video along with other photos of Victim #1 naked,” police wrote in their complaint.

The two people who were in the video went to police on Jan. 11.

That day, the images became a topic of discussion in the group chat. Participants, including tigerray17, discussed deleting explicit images, what police might be able to find and the prospect of going to jail.


Teenage twist

Police said their investigation showed that Kazimer logged into her Snapchat account while on the West Jefferson Hills School District’s internet connection.

Jeffrey Nelson, a district spokesman, said “the district’s administrators were not formally notified” of the incidents.

Wolford, the FBI agent, said that usually when someone is trying to gain access to sexually explicit content saved on social media, they plan to use it for personal pleasure or extortion.

However, Wolford said he typically sees teenagers as the victim in these types of cases, not acting as the alleged perpetrator.

Wolford also said most crimes against children involve men; however, law enforcement is beginning to see more cases with women as the perpetrators.

“It’s changing,” he said.
