NORWICH, CONN. — A former substitute teacher in Connecticut has reached a deal that calls for her to lose her license after exposing students to online pornography.
Forty-one-year-old Julie Amero pleaded guilty Friday in Norwich Superior Court to misdemeanor disorderly conduct. She will also pay a $100 fine.
Pornography appeared on her classroom computer in 2004 in view of seventh-graders. Several computer experts believe the machine was infected with programs that caused the images to pop up beyond her control.
Amero was convicted in 2007 of risk of injury to a minor and could have faced 40 years in prison. A judge threw out her conviction after finding flawed testimony.
She was awaiting a new trial when she reached the plea deal.
