Cops: Georgia high school student showed images to classmates

FEBRUARY 12--Meet Curtis Pickard. The Georgia student was arrested this week after he allegedly used his cell phone to take "upskirt" photos of a teacher, which he then showed to fellow high schoolers. According to a Columbia County Sheriff's Office report, Pickard, 17, surreptitiously snapped photos of Greenbrier High School teacher Ellen Hotchkiss on Monday. After several students on Tuesday told a school safety officer that he was showing the photos around, the officer seized Pickard's phone. The 33-year-old Hotchkiss, pictured at right, examined the images and "identified her legs and underwear from the previous day." Pickard was charged with unlawful eavesdropping or surveillance and booked into the Columbia County Detention Center, where the below mug shots were taken. He was released after posting $2600 bond on the felony rap. (4 pages)

So, what was the point if she had underwear on??

It wasn't so much for sexual purposes, like the older pervs. I'm guessing it was more of a prank.

To show around to the male classmates, and laught about it. Of course now he's slapped with a sex offender tag. Not a joke now

There’s a famous quip (true!) by Winston Churchill when he was well into his dotage, 85 or so, in the mid-1950s. A journalist was decrying the decay of British society, and he cited a recent incident when a man Churchill’s age was observed, and arrested for, making indecent propositions toward a teenage girl. What, the journalist asked, did Churchill think of it?

Churchill’s response? “There’s still hope for England.”

Felony? Seems excessive for a stupid, hormonally-overloaded 17 year old.

Make him take Womyn’s studies classes at the local community college as punishment.
