Jonathan David Devito, 18, was arrested at 2:45 p.m. at the school by Tulsa County sheriff's deputies, his arrest report states.
A teacher alerted school officials that "several students were upset over a picture that was posted on Twitter," according to Devito's arrest report.
The photo showed a 16-year-old with his pants and underwear pulled down using the urinal, the report says.
The concerned students named Devito as the person responsible for sending the picture, and deputies wrote that Devito admitted to an assistant principal that he had taken a picture of the student and sent it to friends via Twitter.
Devito is in the Tulsa Jail on complaints of being a peeping Tom with electronic equipment, manufacturing child pornography, distributing child pornography and violating of the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act. He is being held without bail.
The State of Oklahoma classifies the publication, distribution or participation in the preparation of child pornography as a felony.
If convicted, Devito could be sentenced on each count to as much as 20 years in prison, a $10,000 fine or both, and he would be required to register as a sex offender.
A conviction as a peeping Tom with electronic equipment is considered a felony and is punishable by five years in prison, a $5,000 fine or both.
A felony violation of the Computer Crimes Act charge can result in a maximum 10-year prison term, a $100,000 fine or both.
A misdemeanor violation is punishable by 30 days in jail, a $5,000 fine or both.
Gretchen Haas-Bethell, the communications director for Union Public Schools, issued a statement Thursday:
"At Union we take the safety and dignity of our students very seriously. When we were made aware of an incident at the high school, we immediately took steps to protect the well-being of our students. We notified the appropriate parties and law enforcement officials."
