A controversial so-called "smut list" targeting scores of female students in area schools has been circulated by students in Port Chester High School.It is part of a recent phenomenon among college students and teens of publicly naming girls claimed to be promiscuous -- via mobile phones and the social networking website Facebook.
The list posted on Facebook contained the names of 99 students from area towns.
One version of the list names 24 girls identified as Port Chester residents.
Students from nearby Rye, Rye Brook and Greenwich are also on the list.
It was unclear where the list originated.
Students say that they are sure there will be many more lists in the future that will include more groups.
This practice apparently started a few months ago in colleges and has filtered down to area high schools.
One Port Chester High School student said some of the girls he knows, who were included on the various lists that have circulated, seem to be laughing it off, even though most kids know cyber-bullying is a serious issue.
The Smut List has disrupted the educational process in Greenwich where it touched off a dispute that led to a police response at Greenwich High School.
A fight occurred when a 17-year-old boy walked over to a male and female who were talking and punched the male student in the face. The two students were pulled apart by school security
The 17-year-old Greenwich student who threw the punch was charged with disorderly conduct and released on a promise to appear. His name was not released due to his age.
Greenwich was the only Connecticut town included on the list.
Port Chester education officials seem to be unaware and unprepared of how to deal with the smut list circulating in the middle school and high school.
Calls for comment from Port Chester educaion officials were not immediately returned.
Here is some more information in this video.

'Smut List' in Area High Schools Raises Concerns of Cyberbullying
Students are circulating an online page listing in many cases, the first and last names of nearly 100 girls from eight area school districts, including Scarsdale.
....The sexually-charged list, titled "The Westchester Smut List," includes in many cases the first and last names of 99 girls from the districts. Almost all of the girls listed are younger than 18.
A Facebook page listing the names was taken down early Thursday morning. The list was also sent out via mass texts in Harrison High School Tuesday afternoon, according to a student who asked not to be named.
"It was out of nowhere," said the student. "Like, everyone got it."
The message was sent out around sixth period at HHS Tuesday. The list, and who was on it, became common knowledge at the school by the end of the day, according to the student.
The list includes students from Harrison, Port Chester, Greenwich, Scarsdale, Rye, New Rochelle and Yonkers.
It is unknown who created the list or where it came from. The Facebook page, which was posted on Tuesday at 6:37 p.m., garnered hundreds of comments and more than 7,000 "likes" in 24 hours before it was taken down.
A Facebook page dedicated to having the site removed went from less than 10 "likes" Wednesday morning to more than 1,700 Thursday. Comments on that page include links to anti-bullying sites and requests that the "smut list" be removed. ....
.....Scarsdale School District spokeswoman Victoria Presser said that she had heard of the list, but had not received any phone calls or inquiries from parents or the press.
"There’s nothing I can say about it," said Presser. "It’s a police matter. It’s been reported to various police departments, and it’s not just Scarsdale." ......
....Harrison Police Chief Anthony Marraccini said his department was made aware of the list Wednesday and is currently looking into the situation. He said police are looking to see if any laws were broken by the list's creators. If so the department would consider forcing Facebook to hand over whoever made the post.....

Port Chester Radio Show Gets Scoop on the 'Smut List
Zedalza New York webcast plans to interview the person who allegedly created the 'Smut List' Facebook page.
The Zedalza New York webcast on Tuesday night was moving along as planned until a caller named Brian dropped a bombshell scoop—a “smut list” with the names of 99 girls in the Westchester area was going viral on BlackBerry Messenger and Facebook.
The list ranked the “smuttiest” high school girls from Harrison, Port Chester, Greenwich, Scarsdale, Rye, New Rochelle and Yonkers, complete with first and last names and brief descriptions of their alleged transgressions.
“This is ‘Mean Girls’,” said one of the show’s hosts, Mike Alonzi, referring to the 2004 movie starring Lindsay Lohan about back-stabbing high school girls.
The Zedalza New York radio show, founded in 2006 by Frank Valbiro, Anthony Valbiro and Alonzi at Manhattanville College, now appears live on Ustream.com every Tuesday and Thursday night starting at 9 p.m.....
.....The joking came to a screeching halt when a 16-year-old named Alexa called in and said she and some of her friends were on the list.
“One friend who’s on the list, her mother just called me and said she’s taking her to the hospital right now. She just walked in on the girl slitting both her wrists,” Alexa said on air.
Zedalza will revisit the topic on the show tonight. Valbrio said guests will include his cousin Amanda, an 18-year-old student at Manhattanville College, and some of her friends who were on an earlier Port Chester-only version of the list.
Valbrio said his cousin and her friends are “laughing it off,” and they want to provide some support and a "voice of strength" for younger girls who have been hurt by their inclusion on the list.
Zedalza has another scoop in store, Valbrio said. Someone named Sergio Siano wrote on Zedalza’s Facebook page, (retaining punctuation:) "i didnt make the list. i made a facebook page with the list on it because people kept asking me to message them the list and i got tired of it. if anyone is mad at me because of this, then be angry because im not apologizing."
Siano is scheduled to call in live via Skype to the Vinny Brusco show, which airs at 10:30 p.m., after the Zedalza show.....
.....Valbrio said that Thursday’s show will be Zedalza’s last word on the matter of the smut list. “We’re wrapping it up,” he said. “The story is not going to have legs for very long.”
Perhaps that’s one thing the girls named on the list can take solace in—no one will be talking about the smut list once another scandal comes around. And these days, they seem to come around very fast.
