UNION, S.C. (WSPA) — Leigh Anne Arthur, a teacher at the Union County Career & Technology Center has resigned after a nude photo of her was spread through the school, says the district’s interim superintendent.
The district said Arthur had nude photos of herself on her phone and a student took her phone while she was out of the room. The student then took photos of the nude images.
The student then shared the photo throughout the school. The district became of aware of the incident last Monday and she resigned on Tuesday, according to the district. Arthur reached out to WSPA after seeing the story and told her side of the story.
She said the week of Valentine’s Day, she had some pictures in a gallery on her cell phone that were intended for her husband. She said she left her cell phone on her desk to go out and be a hall monitor between classes.
In that time, a five minute span, a student took pictures of her phone from his phone and shared them “with anyone in class who wanted them”.
She said the kid then said at the end of class, “your day of reckoning is coming.” Later, she was told what had happened and checked with the student’s parents who she said were 100 percent on her side.
The student went to principal and admitted to taking the photos. Two witnesses also went to the principal. The principal asked for her resignation the next Tuesday, Arthur said.
The district told her there was no policy about “inappropriate material on her cell phone” but they were firing her for that reason. Arthur said she was also in trouble for “making her phone easily accessible.” She made a police report and the students phone is now in possession of Union County Sheriff’s Office.
probably every kid in grade school on up
I’m with you on that.
same with locking your car door. But the thief is still a thief. These are actually two separate issues.
I’m guessing all the “kids” in this school are legally adults.
I agree she should not have caved........still not too late to hire a lawyer. Get some recompense then teach in the next county over.
Well that’s a possibility too. In a couple of months I’ll ask one my cousins if she and her husband are still married.
She needs to say she was coerced and pressured into resigning as she was made to feel she was the perp but she was the victim and an excellent attny can and will do this.
If the husband is worth it he will back her 100% all the way to the bank
Education majors have lower SAT scores than any other college curriculum students.
‘Nuff said.
I have one to put in front of your list:
0.5 - Don’t leave nude pictures on your phone.
Inmates are running the asylum.
And anyone who blames her has no right defending Apple in the California terrorist case.
This punk entered her phone. If your front door is unlocked, does that give strangers the right to walk on in?
0) Don’t take nudie pictures of yourself.
Student expelled?
Nope. This is America, 2016. “The principal asked for her resignation”
Glad she got caught. Parents should encourage their children to out pervert teachers and ridicule them.
She got fired for being stupid. Who with fully-formed intelligence puts a nude photo of themselves on a phone or computer?
So are you saying you are into pervert teachers sexually bothering students? If I understood you correctly, you stink.
I hope in 20 years this pervert teacher is still unemployed.
She carried naked pics of herself on the unintended phone to be found by students. Id you had naked pics of yourself on your phone, and knowing students, wouldn’t you secure your phone? She wanted those pics found by students.
Why did she leave her porn pics unsecured and available to students in the first place? She’s too stupid or evil to be a teacher.
I can easily see this “student” becoming a “peeping Tom”, and looking through his teacher’s bedroom window ...
And I can easily see some people claiming his teacher should be fired for having sex with a man in front of said student.
Rifling through someone’s phone is as much an invasion of privacy as peeping through their bedroom window.
