Victim accepts plea agreement in Julie Amero porn spyware case

Filed under: Society,Technology — bblackmoor @ 11:51

In an example of gross injustice on a Kafkaesque scale, the case against Connecticut teacher Julie Amero has finally closed. After being dragged through the mud for four years, she accepted a plea agreement. She will pay a $100 fine, and her teaching credentials will be revoked. In return, the State prosecutors are dropping the four felony charges against her.

Ms. Amero has had her life and livelihood severely disrupted, if not destroyed, for nothing more than being the only adult in a room with an infected computer. And it is worth pointing out that despite the utterly twisted quasi-religious American cultural attitudes toward nudity, not a single child was harmed. Not a single one. The only victim in this case was Ms. Amero herself.
