Two teens have been charged in connection with a pornographic billboard display along I-75 in October. 

The 16-year-old, who was responsible for going into the shed and posting the X-rated video display, this week was placed in a juvenile diversion program. If he complies with the program, he will not face formal charges, Gagnon said.  

The 18-year-old was charged with trespassing in November, Gagnon said. 

Gagnon said the department was able to identify the two teenagers through anonymous tips. 

The teens entered the building where the billboard controls were located about 10:49 p.m. Sept. 28 and were in the space for about 15 minutes, according to police.
