Teacher charged with giving porn to students
Comments 0 | Recommend 0FORT STOCKTON A former Fort Stockton High School teacher turned herself over to officers in San Angelo after police accused her of giving pornographic e-mails to four students.
Jaime Steen, 25, a former agricultural teacher at the school, was charged with the sale, distribution or display of a harmful material to minor for sending e-mails showing images depicting sexual intercourse and sexual humor, Fort Stockton Police Lt. Louis Hernandez said Wednesday.
She posted a $2,500 bond shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday and was released from a San Angelo jail, Hernandez added.
Hernandez said that Steen only faced a misdemeanor charge because the four students that reportedly received the e-mails were between the ages of 15 and 17. Had any of the students been 14 or younger, she could have faced a felony charge.
The principal and the police began investigating her Oct. 11, when they first became aware of the e-mails. Hernandez said the teacher resigned the day the principal confronted her on it.
