Next Friday, substitute teacher Julie Amero of Norwich, Connecticut, will receive her sentence -- up to 40 years in prison, the press repeats with a mixture of horror and glee -- for exposing children to pornography in the classroom.

It could be worse. Had some charges not been dropped, she could have faced 10 felony charges instead of four.

The prosecution claims she deliberately visited porn sites from the class computer and allowed the 12- and 13-year-olds to view the content. She claims -- and evidence proves -- the school computer got hit with a pop-up frenzy she didn't know how to stop.

Tech-savvy lawyers are pointing out glaring technological and legal errors made by both sides of the case. Computer forensics researchers have been re-creating the incident, using a disk image of the classroom machine, to show how insidious pop-up porn can be.


Damn talk about getting thrown under the bus, this woman is fighting for her life and career, has any seen this in the MSM besides print?

1. I've seen it here before, and I think at Salon.

Really sad for that teacher. And that prosecutor needs to be fired.

I had the same thing happen on my home computer a couple of years ago. Apparently after my Norton AV and Firewall expired, I got some malware and viruses, and a bunch of porn hijacked my computer.

I went out and bought a new copy, and when Norton did it's initial scan, I got a message saying I had a certain virus, and recovery was impossible.

I formatted the hard drive, and it still wouldn't let me install Norton, and at the same time it was hijacked again by pop-ups and ads for anti-porn software. And more porn. And I couldn't install anything.

I wound up replacing the hard drive.
