Substitute teacher facing jail over adult web content

The Age have again reported on the story of the substitute teacher facing jail over viewing adult content whilst in the class room.

A substitute teacher faces up to 40 years in jail after pornographic website images were displayed to her seventh-grade students.

It will be interesting to see how this case pans out. It was interesting to read that the prosecution was attempting to determine if the pop-ups had been loaded deliberately. Who would intentionally load pop up advertising onto their computer??
