Overview
- A student found a teacher’s email session left open on a shared computer during a staff workday on September 21 and reportedly downloaded intimate photos and a video from her cloud storage.
- The files were circulated through WhatsApp groups, reached multiple year levels and other schools in the San Martín department, and grew quickly beyond the initial classroom senders.
- The teacher filed a criminal complaint and the Unidad Fiscal de Delitos Económicos e Informáticos opened a probe to establish who accessed, downloaded and redistributed the material.
- Because the main suspect is a minor, the case may be handled by the Fuero Penal Juvenil; at this stage there are no confirmed formal imputations or announced school sanctions.
- The school community and local parents flagged delays in activating DGE protocols and sending conflict-resolution teams, and specialists warn the case reflects a wider rise in digital violence that makes damage hard to undo.
