From the article: "A substitute teacher in Connecticut has been convicted of exposing students to pornography on a classroom computer in a high-profile, and controversial, case. Prosecutors claim she clicked on pornographic web sites, but the teacher says she's the victim of graphic pop-up images generated by spyware and adware."
This is a brutally unfair conviction. I am an IT staffer at a high school and anyone w/ half a brain should know this substitute did nothing wrong here. Pop-up porn is sometimes very very difficult to get rid of and I would not expect a sub to know how to do it. Her story as related in the article is very believable to me as someone who is in IT in a school.
I hope she appeals and gets this overturned. A conviction like this can and will ruin her life.
I am posting this story here in the hopes her case makes a big news splash. This needs more attention!
