Kelsey was crying when she called her dad into the kitchen to tell him, Trosch said.

“She was pretty upset,” he said, adding that she had seen the profile. “She was crying ’cause the contents of the profile are disturbing.”

Trosch told Gill about the site the next day, a Monday. Trosch said he was upset and concerned about it and close to tears.

District technology coordinator Frank Gingras was able to get the site taken down, Trosch said, adding that he called police on Dec. 13, 2005.

Kelsey also told her dad of a second profile, on Dec. 15, 2005.

“Kids were coming up to her” in school, Trosch said.

Trosch learned of a third Web site, although parts of his deposition possibly concerning that discovery have not been made public.

Referring to Layshock’s profile, Trosch said, “It was degrading, it’s demeaning, it’s demoralizing, it’s shocking.”

He used the same terms to describe another profile.

“I try to picture it driving down the interstate and seeing a billboard up there of you, and looking and seeing any type of information that’s on there,” he said. “It would be one of shock.”

Trosch called a meeting before school Dec. 16, 2005, to inform teachers of the profiles and said he was embarrassed to have to make the announcement. He had to step out of the room and asked Gill to continue, he said.

All of the Web sites were disabled, but officials have said many students called up the profiles while at school. District officials spent a lot of time trying to prevent student access and investigating the sites, and ended up blocking all student access to computers, which caused the cancellation of computer-reliant classes for several days.

Myspace is a social network Web site service that has become wildly popular with young people, and is used as a marketing tool for performers and politicians.

A person can set up a profile of himself or herself on Myspace, and “friends” can attach links to the profile.

In the suit, Trosch alleges the students created profiles of him without his consent, and used a photograph of him taken from the district’s Web site.
