South Carolina Teacher Resigns After Student Circulates Nude Photo

A South Carolina high school teacher has resigned after a nude picture of her was posted on social media — but if anyone deserves blame, it's the student who shared it, she says, NBC News reported.

Leigh Ann Arthur, a teacher at the Union County Career and Technical Center in Union, about 70 miles north of Columbia, said the picture was for her husband for Valentine's Day.

But on Feb. 19, while Arthur was on hall patrol duty, a student grabbed her phone from her desk, she told NBC affiliate WYFF. The unnamed 16-year-old, realizing the phone didn't have a passcode, allegedly thumbed through it and sent the nude picture to others via text and social media, prompting the Union Public Safety Department to investigate.
