Principal's Intercepted 'Sext' Scandal Rocks UK High School

by Warren Riddle on May 31, 2009 at 04:29 PM

A scandal involving sexting, the risque practice of sending illicit texts or photos, predominantly attributed to teens, is currently rocking a high school in England. The students in question weren't circulating photos of themselves or their classmates, though. The photos were of their principal.

According to The Telegraph, the headmistress, Sue Brearley, told colleagues that she uploaded the photos of herself posing in her underwear (which were intended for her fiance) from her mobile phone to her laptop. Brearley's laptop was later connected to the school's computer system, which is how the students found the photos after allegedly hacking their way in. Police have spoken to two boys about stealing the uploaded photos and circulating them throughout the school, but no disciplinary measures have been levied against them or Brearley.

Even though punishment is not a certainty, one thing is for sure. Students who saw the pictures will never view Brearley in the same fashion again. [From: The Telegraph]
