Jo Gorman, 28 used to teach at the Paignton Community College in the UK. That is, until naughty pictures of her and an underage student appeared on both of their cell phones and she was fired. But so far, no one has been arrested, possibly meaning it's a little more acceptable to have sex with underage boys in Great Britain than the US. Here's more from This Is London:
A woman teacher was sacked for having a sexual relationship with a teenage pupil, after pictures of the pair were discovered on mobile phones.
Jo Gorman, 28, a married English teacher, was cautioned by police over the "sexual touching" of the 16-year-old boy.
Officers were called to the school when her colleagues learned that the photos of the couple were being passed around on phones by other students.
Their relationship is understood to have lasted five months spanning the summer and autumn of last year.
Mrs Gorman - a former star pupil at the school - was cautioned and suspended from Paignton Community College.
She has now been dismissed after deciding not to appeal against the result of a disciplinary hearing.
She has also been banned from working in any other schools after accepting a police caution for intentionally touching the boy at a time when she was in a position of trust.
One male pupil, 16, said: "Everyone knows about it but we're not quite sure exactly what has been going on.
"He seems quite proud of it. He had mobile phone pictures of her and she had some of him and that's how people found out apparently."
A female sixth-former said the pair had been spotted getting into a car together.
She added: "It makes me feel a bit sick to think that one of the teachers had done anything with a pupil.
"They were seen getting into a car together and then we heard about these phone pictures and she hasn't been seen at school since. He's still coming to school but keeps his head down."
