Massachusetts high school teacher swapped nude photo with teen student
A Massachusetts high school teacher allegedly exchanged nude photos with a 15-year-old student on Snapchat, authorities said Tuesday.
Prosecutors say 42-year-old Dorothy Bancroft Veracka “actively” solicited lewd images from the teenage boy and sent him skin pics as well between September 2018 and March 2019, MassLive.com reported.
The student saved images of Veracka and some of their Snapchat conversations that he handed to police, according to court documents.
The Nashoba Regional High School teacher admitted receiving nude photos from the boy, the documents say.
She was arraigned in Clinton District Court Tuesday on charges of child pornography, distributing obscene matter to a minor and posing or exhibiting a child in the state of nudity. She was released without bail.
“Everyone is entitled to the presumption of innocence,” her defense attorney, Frank McNamara, told WBZ-TV, adding that his client is married and has three children.
She was placed on administrative leave from the school in Bolton Sept. 30
