Great list. How about teacher Julie Amero, whose browser was apparently hijacked, possibly while students used it while she was out of the room resulting in students seeing nudity briefly and uninentionally [1]

> Amongst the most noteworthy, Detective Lounsbury stated in the trial that a red link proved that Amero had deliberately clicked on the link to visit a particular pornographic page. Huge blown up pictures were shown to the jury. In fact, forensic investigation showed that the link visited color for the browser was olive green. The link was colored red because there was a font tag on the page turning the link red.

I have no comment for that.

I would think some enterprising employment lawyer would smell blood and there would then be a wrongful termination suit.

Wikipedia says she pled guilty to disorderly conduct and handed in her teaching license because the school board wouldn't pay for IT support that would have kept the naked ladies off her computer. Incredible.

And people wonder why its so hard to find teachers. Because the job conditions are terrible!

Working in a school district, doing IT, I can agree.

My buddies do the same sort of stuff I do and make 1.5x my salary.

Trust me the "Technical Experts" for prosecution are a joke. long story but my friend was jailed for 6 years based upon stuff like this concerning his IP address and it 100% identifies him though it wasn't the same IP address. What jury knows anything about IP addresses and how they don't identify a person?
