Teacher forgets to update computer, goes to jail

When a teacher forgets to renew the school's license for their web filtering software, it only makes sense to throw them in jail for 40 years.

In a rash of ultra consertive zeal, a Norwich Public Schools teacher is being prosecuted for allowing adult content to leak onto one of the school's laptops. Apparently adware or malware got installed on the machine (easy to do, especially if Norton was outdated) and the malicious program sent a stream of x-rated pops up to the screen.

The teacher was convicted of "four counts of risk of injury to a minor," even though I didn't read anyplace where any students actually viewed the explicit pop-ups.

Anyone else think this is a little extreme?
