Submission + - Teacher convicted imperiling morals due to pop-ups

sgent writes: "A substitute 7th grade teacher faces 40 years in prison after conviction of 4 counts of "impairing the morals of a child". A classroom computer went into a "pop-up loop" displaying porn.

The teacher had complained multiple times to the IT department, and the school allowed their filtering software to lapse. In addition, an expert for the prosecution testified "You have to physically click on it to get to those sites," Smith said. "I think the evidence is overwhelming that she did intend to access those Web sites."

"The pop-ups never went away," Amero testified.

From the Norwich Bulletin or if /.'ed a writeup by Pharyngula."
