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.
High Power Attny NOW.
Go after kids,kids parents, school admin town all of them
If it were me, I’d sue the owner of the phone used to disseminate the pictures that were the result of an invasion of privacy.
I hope 20 years from now the thug kid will still be unable to find a woman willing to marry him. He’s got way too much malice for any decent woman to be stuck with him.
Why do so many people seem to have nekkid pictures of themselves on their phones? Not excusing what the kid did, but carrying around a compromising image of yourself is just asking for trouble...Never mind somebody stealing it, you yourself could accidentally send it to someone, upload it to somewhere, show it to someone when you’re trying to show off pictures of your new puppy...
Union is a small town. Everyone she knows has either seen the photos or knows about them. Why wasn’t this brat expelled?
its a generational thing I suppose
1. Don’t leave your phone on the desk.
2. Don’t leave your phone unlocked.
3. Get a good lawyer and sue everybody.
If I had to guess, they ARE sharing them - the phone is just the vehicle.
expelled.How about arrested.
The ESPN reporter trial is going on right now and that guy is in prison.
He took photos.No dif in my OP than taking a pic of a pic and passing it around.
This kid needs to pay big time.
I am trying to contact this woman to advise her to go for the throat
I agree.
If you don’t want something spread around don’t put it on your phone or your computer. Just look at the mess Hitlery is in without photos.
She’s NOT GUILTY on all counts!
Union is so small everybody’s already seen her naked.
Why did this teacher leave the classroom? That’s just asking for trouble.
Sure fine...
It still does not exonerated the little POS that violated this woman privacy with MALICE as his statement reflects
Hall duty
Who has nude pictures of themselves on their phones?
