Title: Porn popups send teach to prison
Post by: maximusotter on January 23, 2007, 20:12:05 PM
QuoteA substitute teacher from Connecticut is facing up to 40 years in prison because her malware-riddled computer displayed porno popups in class.

On October 19, 2004, Julie Amero arrived at Kelly Middle School to teach a 7th grade language arts class. Mr. Matthew Nett, the classs regular teacher, logged Amero into the classroom computer and left, warning
her not to turn the machine off.

Amero let the students surf the web for a few minutes. The kids visited several innocuous sites including an innocent-looking page on hair styles. Suddenly, pornographic popups started to fill the screen. Soon, the machine was frozen in an endless porn loop.

in what possible way is it her fault if the school computer is full of malware, and the school has no functioning firewall shes a substitute!

that is the single most rediculous court decision I have ever heared of.

Shes dim for still trying to leave the computer on despite all the porn, but in no way does that translate into deserving jailtime. I bet the kids loved it tbh.
