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.
Not Guilty!
Yes I read the article and that is why I remarked about the husband because another posted implied he would dump her for the photos.
Hope this helps.
The kid should be in trouble, not her.
AFAIC
Swell, but opinions are like ....... you know the rest.
If you have kids in the public school system you should be very concerned about what goes near you precious ones on a daily basis and if moral depravity was an issue there wouldn’t be to many teachers left
You think what that child did was a good thing?
BTW do you wear a burka to bed to sleep with your husband?
He needs pictures? The real thing isn't enough? What a bunch of sickos.
I bet you would like to know what i do with my husband in bed, pervert. : ) I’ll tell you what I do with my phone. I am not posting nude pics of myself on it. Is this what you do. Kinda infatuated with yourself. A tad narcissistic?
“If your front door is unlocked, does that give strangers the right to walk on in?”
Of course not, but many people don’t manage very well the risks they face. The local thugs don’t have the “right” to assault and rob me, but I don’t walk through the housing project at midnight.
Wasn’t there a song called “Hot for teacher”?
The kid sounds like a budding psychopath.
he’s definitely a trouble maker and this teacher has obviously had problems with him before indicated by his vindictive statement
The kid does seem to have some serious problems.
Sara, there is a mechanism called projection. Assuming that many around you are perverts is an example of that defense mechanism.
All she needed to do was make sure her phone was password protected.
I tried to take a nude pic of myself but didn’t have a wide angle lens to capture all of my belly.
Get with it granny.
Not everyone is hung up about their bodies.
Trust me, not everyone’s parents are prudes.
I'd prefer not.
Sorry, I misread your post. I was agreeing with you.
The husband should be proud of having a beautiful wife. He should beat the crap out of that kid. And he should stand by as she rakes the school department over the coals.
I d like to see how this whole thing plays out and I think the school will be on the loosing end.
Hope this couple plays it cool and goes for the throat
