Porn Pop-Ups Explode a Conn. Classroom

Julie Amero has lived a computer pop-up nightmare. Now she’s been convicted of unwittingly exposing her students to pornography after a storm of sexual images flooded the screen in a classroom computer. You can imagine how it must have felt, not being able to stop the awful pictures one, another, another, from despoiling the innocent air in the seventh grade class.
Amero’s story is so familiar–who hasn’t wrestled to stuff those sweaty bosoms and butts back inside the machine. They keep coming, pounding your senses with uninvited lust and you can imagine what this must have been like as a substitute teacher with 30 seventh graders staring over your shoulder.

The prosecution was blasted by Amero’s lawyers, who questioned why nobody searched the class computer for the spyware, explaining that “when a pop-up occurs it will get shown as a visited website and no ‘physical click’ is necessary. The teacher turned down a plea deal, insists she is innocent, and plans to appeal.
