A case in which a 14-year-old girl was filmed in a state of undress and the clip disseminated on social media has been referred to gardaí despite alleged attempts by her school to ignore the incident.

The case involves a girl inadvertently caught on a video made by a classmate in a female changing area in the mixed-gender school. The girl was not wearing anything below her waist and the clip was uploaded on Snapchat.
