Boing Boing: Teacher faces 40 years for porn in classroom, blames adware

A 40-year-old substitute teacher faces up to 40 years in prison after being convicted of exposing children to pornography on a computer at the Connecticut middle school where she taught.

Well, this is right fucked. Even if she is guilty 40 years is nonsentical.

And beyond the question of what constitutes justice for Ms. Amero, how might this ruling affect other teachers using computers with children? Will some teachers limit their use of technology in the classroom, fearing greater liability risks if porn they didn't ask for shows up on an unsecured, school-owned PC?

[ You better fucking believe it will. I'd be completely rethinking my use of computers unless there was some indemnification process and the school had a competent tech crew.

And, yes, a 40 year sentence would be completely outrageous. I realize they haven't done sentencing yet and the likelihood is that it won't be that bad, but fuck, she could've raped one of those kids and gotten less than 40 years. -k
