Julie Amero
A former substitute teacher has reached a plea deal to end a long-running case in which she was accused of exposing middle school students to online pornography.
Julie Amero, 41, pleaded guilty Friday to one count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct in Norwich Superior Court. She will give up her teaching license and pay a $100 fine.
Amero was convicted in 2007 of four counts of risk of injury to a minor. The charges stemmed from an 2004 incident in which pornography appeared on her classroom computer in view of several seventh-graders.
Amero and several computer experts believe the computer was infected with programs that caused the images to pop up beyond her control. A judge threw out her conviction after an analysis of the computer's hard drive, concluding testimony against Amero was "flawed."
