It never occurred to me that teens might be on both sides of the camera.
What a sordid mess.
In any case, as Terry pointed out, the last thing this girl needs is to be shunned by her entire community.

I am not for being prudish, don't get me wrong. The thing is that children and teenagers deserve a world where they can be age appropriate. I'm thinking it was easier when kids were watching Shirley Temple and the Our Gang Comdies/The Little Rascals and listening to the music their parents did. I love rock and roll and loved my childhood during the 60s and 70s. It wasn't so bad then as it is today for kids. No, as far as things like sexual activity goes, there actually never was a better time for kids (more open access to and knowledge of birth control, vaccines for some STDs, etc.). Teens have always had sex throughout history and always will.
The problem now is what was mentioned earlier in the thread - thanks to the internet and recording devices, it's easy to make different permanent mistakes. In the earlier 20th century, you were sent away or shunned by family and the community when you got pregnant as a teen. Now, instead of pregnancy, teens are recording themselves where it could get out and have long-lasting effects.

You missed the whole point of what I was saying. Better time for kids? I don't agree with you about it being better. There is better education in some places and more availabilit of birth control in some places, but kids are kids. I remember someone arguing recently that you cannot get STDs from oral sex. This person went through sex ed at high school. Evidently said kid wasn't listening or believes other kids over his instructors.
But the point is that we don't provide a world where kids are encouraged to be age appropriate. While it is true that kids have always had sexual curiosity and some did engage in varying levels of experimentation, they weren't always hyper sexualized by the media. Media is modern thing anyway. The numbers of kids doing risky things has risen to new heights, thanks to being encouraged and fanned on by the entertainment and video game industry. Then they have smart phones, digital cameras, webcams, etc. I grew up in the 60s and 70s. I hung out with the wilder bunch of hippies at school. None of the kids I knew were blatant about sex and none of them flashed naked pics of each other. We did have poloroid technology then, but there were never any scandals about XXX photos. Maybe here and there around the earth there were some teenagers involved in that, but it wasn't going on in Atlanta, GA or any of the other places I went.

1961 and 1962 vs. 2003 and 2005 Not that early rock music was completely innocent. Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, though tame by today's standards, was banned on most radio stations. Here is a comparison of songs by young women or teens in the early 1960s compared with some from the 00s. And there are worse songs, I'm sure than the last two.

is there anyone in a postion to help this poor child? Is there a guidance councillor that can be called, or the local police? There must be someone that knows her name and can alert authorities.
of course the elders "viewed" the evidence. and told their wives. who told two friends....
i hate this cult but ..... please, a simple name drop to someone that can help by someone who knows might save this girl from further horror

from the OP
she participated in more than one porn videos with classmates in the school and theses videos became public.
I would suggest that the school officials would be the people to notify ... and they may already be aware of the situation. Alexandre, this sounds like kids experimenting in a very dangerous way, and I hope the school authorities and police are involved. If not, you could easily notifiy them - anonymously.
