`A 40-year-old substitute teacher faces up to 40 years in prison after being convicted of exposing children to pornography on a computer at the Connecticut middle school where she taught.
I suppose it’s remotely possible the charges are valid. But the story doesn’t add up.

Herndon was wearing a jacket and strapless top and was changing in the girl’s locker room at Palm Beach Gardens High School.

Conrad told us in 1994: “I had no idea they were with us.
