Julie Amero, the substitute teacher who could have received 40 years in jail after porn appeared on classroom PCs, was spared that fate—for now. Instead, Amero will get a new trial after revelations that the original computer analysis was flawed.

The backstory in a nutshell: Amero was substituting for an English class. She went to the restroom, and when she returned, students were gathered around a computer that was displaying porn pop-ups. Amero, who describes herself as a total computer novice, couldn't make them stop, and she eventually ran to the teacher's lounge to get help. In court, school officials admitted that the antivirus software installed on the PC was out of date and antispyware programs were not installed. A school official did tell parents, however, that the school district had comprehensive filtering and firewall software in place at the time.

So, she's getting 40 years because she used IE. Good going... Imo everyone using IE should get 40 to life sentence

Thats horrible but I think you have a point

@ this article: People need to stop freaking the f*ck out. I think parents should just as well kill themselves if they haven't prepared their kids for the world we live in, let alone porn...
