A teacher in South Carolina resigned after a student took a nude picture from her phone and sent it to friends through texts and social media, officials said Monday.

The Union County Career and Technology Center teacher, Leigh Anne Arthur, said the photo was meant for her husband, according to WYFF. She told reporters, "The student who actually took my phone and took pictures turned around and told me, 'your day of reckoning is coming.'"

She reportedly said the unnamed student took her phone while she was patrolling a hallway on Feb. 19. Still, interim superintendent David Eubanks said Arthur should not have kept her phone unlocked, WYFF adds.

“I think we have a right to privacy, but when we take inappropriate information or pictures, we had best make sure it remains private,” Eubanks told The State. He said Arthur could be contributing to the delinquency of a minor, but it's unclear whether the student will face charges.

Arthur claims the school pressured her to resign. She had taught in Union County for more than a decade, according to WSPA.

She says a petition has circulated among students and parents to get her back into the classroom.

She's an idiot for leaving her phone unattended and unlocked. And for keeping nudes on it.

Shouldn't the student be charged with something?

Why resign? Attention seeking Whore!

But in all seriousness, no, she should not have to resign and yes, the student should face disciplinary actions. South Carolina does not have a revenge porn statute, maybe it will now.

Is the superintendent right? Is it 'her fault' because she didn't have her phone locked?

It just makes her an idiot, not at fault.

Absolutely not. It is no different than going through her purse and stealing something. Should purses be locked?

I am surprised the screeching "you're victim blaming" man haters haven't gone off the reservation yet.

The kid STOLE her phone, key word there is stole. Then he STOLE a photo of which she owns the intellectual rights to. If not anything the student should be charged with theft.

A high school student who went through his teacher's cellphone, found a nude picture of her and posted it online has been charged with a computer crime and voyeurism, authorities said Friday.

Union Public Safety Department Chief Sam White said the student, who is being charged as a juvenile, was taken into custody at Union High School without incident.

The 16-year-old is charged with a count of violating the state's computer crime act in the second degree and a count of aggravated voyeurism.

He is being held in juvenile detention for a hearing in family court. There have been no other arrests, but the investigation is continuing, the chief said.

Officials say it's not clear how many people may have seen the social media postings of the photo.

The teacher, Leigh Anne Arthur, has quit her job teaching mechanical and electrical engineering and computer programming at the school's vocational center.

Arthur, 33, told police on Feb. 18 that while she stepped out of her classroom, a boy took her unlocked smartphone from her desk, opened the photos application and found a nude selfie she had taken for her husband as a Valentine's Day present.

An online petition has been started, urging school district officials in the community in northwestern South Carolina to give Arthur her job back. The superintendent has said it was the teacher's fault for leaving students unattended during a four-minute break between classes.

The Associated Press left a phone message with Arthur on Friday seeking comment on the arrest.

The voyeurism charge makes it illegal, for the purpose of sexual gratification, to record or make a digital file of another person without his or her consent. The computer crimes charge makes it illegal to take possession or deprive the owner of a computer of computer data.

Both charges are misdemeanors for a first offense. But if the teen is convicted on both counts he could be sentenced to a maximum fine of $10,500 and four years in prison.
