Porn shown to Pinetown pupils

SHOCK and controversy has enveloped a Pinetown based school after allegations surfaced that a teacher accidentally showed pupils pornography.

The Witness reported that the incident occurred when Grade 6 pupils assembled to preview a slideshow presentation.

The laptop that was prepped for the presentation was allegedly inoperative and the teacher in question opted to use his personal laptop.

When it was plugged into the projector the pornographic images were relayed onto the screen. The laptop was reportedly promptly unplugged.

According to media reports the teacher has been suspended and the Department of Education began an independent investigation. The pupils have also been offered guidance counselling after the incident.
