NJ teacher who resigned after posting ex-student’s nude pics is hired by another school: report
A New Jersey high school teacher who resigned after posting naked photos of a former student online was hired by another school district, according to reports.
Christopher Doyle, a former math teacher at Wall High School, was ordered last month to pay Kaitlyn Cannon, 29, $10,000 for posting intimate pictures of her on a revenge porn website.
Doyle resigned in 2019 amid litigation over the breach of Cannon’s privacy, but was quickly hired by the Perth Amboy High School just a county away.
As of Friday, Doyle was still listed as an active employee at the school despite officials’ insistence that he was not working in the district, Fox News Digital reports.
“It’s my opinion that he shouldn’t be allowed to teach in schools,” Cannon, 29, told Fox. “That’s something that’s important to me. It doesn’t sit right, I guess.”
Officials at Perth Amboy High School did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Cannon’s nightmare began in 2018 when she received messages that the naked selfies she sent to a boyfriend while attending Penn State were uploaded to the Dutch revenge porn website Anon-IB.
The website listed the photos under Cannon’s first name, last initial, and Wall Township, where she grew up.
As Cannon and her family received an influx of messages about the photos, investigators revealed the disturbing fact that the pictures were uploaded from Doyle’s computer, the very man who taught her in high school and coached her sister’s tennis team.
“I think, for me, it was already something that I was dealing with and struggling with, that these photos were online that I didn’t intend for anyone to see. Once I found out that it was my former math teacher, it was extremely unsettling — it hit a lot closer to home,” Cannon said.
“It made me feel … scared, paranoid, violated that someone in my real life was doing this. I just imagined before it was someone I didn’t know.”
Doyle testified in court that he had reuploaded the naked photos to the forum because he feared it would be shut down due to inactivity.
Cannon’s lawyer, however, claimed that a reverse image search showed that Doyle’s uploads were the only of their kind.
Before leaving Wall High School, Doyle posted an apology on Facebook, describing himself as “someone who made a mistake” but who wasn’t a bad person.
“For any of you I have hurt, or you perceived that I hurt, I am truly sorry and I can only hope you can forgive me as well,” he wrote.
It remains unclear how Doyle got hold of Cannon’s photos, as the boyfriend whom she sent them to claimed to have lost his phone.
Cannon has since set up a TikTok account using the handle @revengeprngirl to share her experience and to discuss the mental effects of revenge porn. She now has a master’s degree in social work to help victims of sexual abuse.
