A school district has been ordered to pay $225,000 to three girls who were bullied into sending nude pictures to a boy at their middle school who 'passed them around like baseball cards'. It marks the end of a six-year case, after the teenagers first reported their ordeal to officials at Clatskanie Middle School in Oregon - only to be told to 'suck it up'. Josi Harrison, Laura Lefebvre, and Hailey Walden were all in eighth grade when they claim their high school-age boyfriends lured them into sending nude pictures to their phones. Ordeal: Laura Lefebvre (left) and Josi Harrison (right) are two of three girls who have won a civil claim against their school district for failing to support them after being bullied into sending naked pictures to boyfriends . Traumatic: Hailey Walden, now a straight-A student, left Clatskanie Middle School to escape the harrowing experience after the principal and local police chief said she would be charged for the distribution of photos . After sending one, they were blackmailed into sending more. However, when they sought help from the principal and Clatskanie District police chief, they were told they would be charged with creating and distributing child pornography. On Thursday, two years after filing a civil suit against Clatskanie School District, a judge has ordered that each girl receive $75,000 in damages. All three girls have subsequently moved to new schools. Speaking in December 2013, Hailey Walden told KATU: 'We had grown up with each other and he was always the popular cool guy that everyone wanted to date. I was 13, I didn't know. I thought that if I sent him the picture he would think I'm pretty and love me.' In total, she sent him 30 pictures, which then swept the school. However, her mother Billi Leinonen told the station, principal Jeff Baughman and police chief Marvin Hoover 'chuckled' when they brought the case to them. Hoover, she says, started reading Hailey her Miranda rights and said she would be charged. Though no charges were filed against Hailey, she claims the meeting exacerbated her trauma. On Thursday Clatskanie School District, which encapsulates CMHS, was ordered to pay $225,000 to the girls . Josi Harrison and Laura Lefebvre reported similar conflicts with school officials. Along with Hailey, they filed a $2.5 million federal suit against the district in 2013. The judge ordered a reduced payment on the grounds that the school has taken commendable steps to ensure the situation is not repeated. An attorney for one of the girls, Amber Lunsford, told Oregon Live: 'This suit was never about the money. It was about effecting change.' She added: 'Each of the girls accomplished what they wanted.' Reacting to the settlement on Thursday, Josi told Fox 12 Oregon: 'I feel like it made me have to fight battles I shouldn’t have to fight, especially at such a young age, but I feel it made me stronger.' 'I just hope they realize this does happen to people and that we’re trying to make it known in school districts.'
