LANCASTER, Ohio — A Fisher Catholic High School choir teacher has been placed on paid leave while Lancaster police investigate a report that she sent nude photos of herself to a student’s cellphone, an act commonly known as “sexting.”
Principal Sean Kenney, who reported the allegation to police on Sunday, confirmed yesterday that he had placed a teacher on leave.
According to a police report, the 17-year-old student identified the teacher as Kathleen Thomas, 26. Kenney declined to confirm the teacher’s identity but said she had been at the high school for five years.
The student said he sent a couple of photos of his genitals to Thomas at her request, after she sent nude photos of herself to his cellphone. She sent more nude photos of herself after he sent his photos to her, the report said.
