Students suspended after seeing topless pic of teacher on school-issued iPad

ANDERSON, Ind. - Some students at Highland Middle School in Anderson have been suspended after their teacher accidentally synced a topless picture of herself to a school-issued iPad.
Joshua Troutt, 13, said he and three other students were playing a game on the iPad in class when one of the students pressed a button and a photograph of the teacher's partially bare chest was revealed.
"It's not our fault that she had the photo on there," Troutt said. "We couldn't do anything not to look at it, if it just popped up when he pressed the button. It was her fault that she had the photo on there. Her iPhone synched to it. She had to have pressed something to make all of her photos synch on there."
Anderson police said Thursday that investigators determined that the picture was "from the neck down, with partial exposure."

"Since the material was not pornographic in nature and no other criminal violation could be gleaned from the evidence as presented, the matter was turned over to the school and the police investigation closed," Detective Joel Sandefur said in a statement.

Assistant Superintendent Beth Clark acknowledged that the incident was an accident, and said the district's technology use policy was followed.
She said the students involved have been suspended and threatened with expulsion.
Troutt's mother said she doesn't believe that's fair.

Well then they shouldn't have done the crime if they couldn't do the time.

The ZT policy was right there in the district policy guide.

Ridiculous. The teacher screws up and the students get punished. Asking a 13 year old boy to not look at boobs is like asking the earth not to spin.

I can't think of a single teacher that I ever had when I was 13 that I would have wanted to see topless!

Huh? What crime did the kids commit?? They had permission of the teacher to use the iPad. So they were o.k. in that. They pulled up the picture, and instead of showing it to all the other kids, they did the right thing and reported it. Though each time I've seen stories on the news about this, no one ever says what the kids were actually punished for. How can no one know what offense the kids supposedly committed? There can obviously be more to the story that hasn't been publicly told, but at face value this situation smells.
