Teacher resigns over nude pictures taken from her cellphone

UNION, S.C. (AP) — Some South Carolina high school students have started an online petition to bring back a teacher who resigned after a student spread a nude picture of her through text messages and social media.

Union County High School teacher Leigh Anne Arthur, 33, told news outlets she left her cellphone on her desk Monday as she monitored a hallway during a class change.

The Herald-Journal of Spartanburg reported that Union County sheriff's deputies were called to Arthur's home Tuesday evening after she discovered harassing material in her mailbox, according to a police report.
