Julie Amero, 40 year old, was convicted in January for sex advertisements that popped up on her computer at the classroom and the pupils saw the inappropriate content. The case was widely discussed and raised serious questions of computer safety.

The prosecution claimed her for entering porn website and clicking a button, so the advertisement appeared on her screen. But 28 computer science specialists proved that porn advertisement pop-ups can appear without any single click, automatically.

Ms Amero could be sentenced for 40 years of jail, but Judge Hillary Strackbein ordered a retrial time for her. She sent the computer to the laboratory for the full trail, because neither the jury, nor the prosecution, are completely aware of computer security. A special fact is that the school computer is very old and does not have a firewall protection. So the computer needs to be investigated in details to give the full picture of what has happened.

Ms Amero said, "A great weight has been lifted off my back." Her lawyer, William Dow, commended the prosecutors for acting responsibly. "The lesson from this is all of us are subject to the whims of these computers," he said.

The incident took place on October 19, 2004, at the Kew middle school, Norwich, Connecticut. Ms Amero was pregnant at that time. She said that she was out of the class for a while and maybe the pupils, who were in average 12 year old, clicked on some websites that resulted in sex pop-ups. So the teacher denied she entered any website of inappropriate content.

The pupils themselves told the police that the computer was not shut down after the first pop-up immediately, it was showing women and men engaging in oral sex for several hours.

So the prosecution blamed Ms Amero in being very slow to turn the computer off. Even if she didn't enter any sex website, she could at least turn the computer off immediately and not allow the pupils watch the pop-ups. Julie Amero found guilty of four counts for injuring pupils' moral. By Ruzan Harutyunyan for HULIQ
