UPDATED TODAYJulie Amero- the substitute convicted for porn on school computer may have found her best defender.
In a special presentation the Board of Education, Robert Hartz, the school district's information systems director, told the board of education that the company that supplies the school's content-filter software failed to send him the necessary paperwork to activate an updated version of the filter prior to the 2004 school year. He "blamed himself for the computer pornography incident, saying he may have overlooked an invoice for the update." TT- link
Outrage of the Day
There are really two of them.
The sentence for Dion Savage ought to make any parent infuriated. Twenty-seven months and one year home confinement for statutory rape of a student, pornographic pictures of another, and a "withering sentencing report" that newspapers fail to examine. But then, they insisted on calling it "a 10-month affair." TT-link.

In Exeter, Pennsylvania, Matthew Gelormini was finally sent to prison, two years and three victims too late. TT-link. In such cases, you wonder if suing the judge shouldn't be an option.
Media Malfeasance
Bad enough that the two Delaware news sources insist on referring to statutory rape as "an affair" or a "sexual affair," at least they will keep their stories available more than 20 hours. Not so the (California) Pasadena Star-News that whips them into an archive where they can't be reliably retrieved. Less than 13 hours after a news story on Julio Cardoza was posted to their site, it is no longer available. TT link. [Jan 25 - new link - Article Launched: 01/23/2007 11:28:06 PM PST]
