Teacher who got fired after student stole her nude pics sues school district
Source: Ars Technica
A South Carolina high school teacher has sued (PDF) the school district that employed her after she was pushed to resign when a student grabbed racy pictures off her smartphone.
Leigh Anne Arthur resigned from her job earlier last month when she was told she would face disciplinary proceedings because a student grabbed photos off her phone while she was on a routine hall patrol.
At the time, Arthur complained that she, rather than the student, was the one being punished. The student shared the racy pictures of Arthur with his friends as well. Arthur said the pictures were a Valentine's Day gift for her husband, and she forgot to erase them from her phone.

(38,958 posts)I believe she should receive a huge settlement and the student should face severe consequences for his action in violating the privacy of the teacher the unauthorized access to her phone and outright theft of those images, which she owns.
I also believe she should sue the student for damages.
