Several Boeing employees were fired recently for what sources say involved sexting.

KING 5 reports the company “fired and disciplined” fewer than a dozen employees for what a statement called “inappropriate personal behavior.”

Multiple sources told KING 5 that that behavior included sexting on company phones.

A Boeing spokesperson would not confirm that sexting was involved in the discipline.
