NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Police officially charged a Virginia teacher with taking indecent liberties with students for allegedly showing them before and after pictures of her breast augmentation, as well as other inappropriate images.

Melissa Kidd, 34, resigned from Woodside High School in Newport News, Virginia in April after school officials placed her on administrative leave the month prior. That decision was based on allegations the former business teacher showed two female students – ages 16 and 17 at the time – images of her boob job during class last November. She also allegedly showed one of the students an image of her genitals, WAVY reports.

News Channel 3 reports that district officials launched a human resources investigation into Kidd’s alleged conduct March 31, but didn’t contact police or child protective services until after she resigned April 17.

Police searched the teacher’s iPhone on at least two occasions, including a search of deleted or hidden images or messages, but it’s unclear whether they recovered any evidence from the device.

Kidd was arrested last week and charged with three counts of taking indecent liberties with a child Friday, Fox 21 reports.

Kidd, who holds a provisional teaching certificate, was hired by the district last August. She posted a $6,000 bond and was released from jail with stipulations that she cannot contact juveniles, except of her children, according to the news site.

“To hear something like that is really disturbing,” parent Angela Leslie told News Channel 3. “To me, that’s pornographic, it’s not OK. It’s not OK. I hope it’s not true.”

Others who read about the story online didn’t seem to think the teacher’s alleged actions should be criminal.

“I had two nearly opposite reactions,” Howard Miller posted to The Huffington Post. “1. You don’t enhance your credibility with high school students by flashing intimate pictures of yourself. 2. It takes an American prude’s constricted morality to conclude that a woman’s breast … or any other part of her … is pornographic.”

“In some states, it is legal for the female teacher to walk around topless once school is done,” Eruanion Nolaquen wrote.

John Hill seemed to agree with Nolaquen.

“It is sort of funny that one of the first things a child sees is a breast it suckles on … then at age 16, they are too young to see the breast in a picture!” Hill wrote. “I wonder how many 16-year-olds are not seeing breasts every Friday night on dates and not just a picture? A New York City woman can walk down the street topless…

“Biology class must be very difficult, so much for the invisible woman models in every class! Heaven forbid they see a video of a birth … I wonder how many school libraries have National Geographics?”

Others don’t think it’s ever appropriate for a teacher to expose themselves to a student.

“There is no place for a teacher to have any type of intimate moment with a student. There is nothing ‘prudish’ about this. I don’t know many parents who are ok with sending their child to school and finding out the ‘teacher’ is showing pics of themselves undressed for any reason whatsoever,” Michelle Brugman wrote.

“And then people wonder why our young adult generation has little respect for authority. Teachers and school authorities need to be vigilant about boundaries showing respect for both students and teachers.”
