According to what I've read, it was a naive substitute teacher, who
didn't even know how to turn off the computer. We forget that really
naive users are afraid to do the wrong thing, for fear they will wipe
out everything on the computer and make it junk. The machine was
infested with malware that called the popups, which displayed the
"porn". She tried the entire day to hide the computer screen from the
students.
For this she gets 40 years in prison?
