CORONA DEL MAR — A Newport Beach high school is being rocked by allegations that at least two students and a tutor hacked into a computer to change grades.
Officials at Corona del Mar High School confirmed to CBS2/KCAL9 reporter Jeff Nguyen that an investigation was underway.
Nguyen spoke to several concerned students and outraged parents. Sources also told Nguyen that the school was considering filing criminal charges.
The hacking allegedly started at the beginning of last year. It is not clear why the incident is only now coming to light.
Andrew Larsen, a 12th grader, said at least two of his classmates were involved.
“They were pulled out of class yesterday. I guess they were suspended,” Larsen said, “I think it might leadto them getting expelled. I’m not sure.”
Jack Thompson, also a 12th grader, was in the class when the two students were pulled out by an assistant principal.
