Image: Complex Emily Rose Grover was 17 when she and her mother were arrested back in March for allegedly hacking into Escambia County School District’s internal computer systems to log in votes for herself in Tate High School’s homecoming elections. However, once she turned 18 in April, she could be prosecuted as an adult for her crimes, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Grover and her mother, Laura Rose Carroll, allegedly hacked into the district computer system and logged 117 votes in Grover’s favour during the election. Carroll was an assistant principal at nearby Bellview Elementary School, and therefore had access to other district records. The FDLE reportedly discovered that Carroll has accessed over 300 student accounts and assisted in her daughter receiving 246 votes to secure the position of homecoming queen.
