Miami high schooler sent to the slammer for fudging grades

The principal handed the 18-year-old over to police, after the student confessed, in writing, to hacking into his school website to change his scores. Jose Bautista also allegedly altered the grades of four other students.

He was charged on 5/2 for, among other things, intellectual property offence and offense against computer users.

Bautista’s aunt and grandfather told a reporter he is a hardworking student and a good kid.

Bautista was scheduled to graduate within a few weeks, but could be expelled.

His family posted his $20,000 bail.
