Every day you seem to hear another story about a teacher somewhere in America getting caught trying to have a relationship or an intimate moment with a student, here is yet another one of those.
VIA CBS News:
LOWELL - A middle school teacher in Lowell is accused of sending a partially nude photo of himself to a 16-year-old boy he knows using Snapchat, authorities said Wednesday.
Jaryd Palmer, a 34-year-old Andover resident, is charged with disseminating obscene matter to a minor.
"The defendant was arrested yesterday by Tewksbury Police after the parents of a 16-year-old boy reported to police that their son had been communicating with Palmer over Snapchat and that the defendant had allegedly sent him a photo of his genitals," Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Tewksbury Police Chief Ryan Columbus said in a statement. "The juvenile reportedly asked the defendant not to send him Snapchats of that nature and took a screenshot of the image before reporting it to his parents."
Investigators determined that Palmer is "currently working as a middle school teacher in Lowell Public Schools," and he's listed as a sixth grade math teacher on the Robinson Middle School website. He writes that he has taught for the past seven years in communities around Lowell.
