Teacher accidentally shows class porn film

A teacher in Italy will be making sure she labels her USB sticks more carefully in the future after she accidentally showed hardcore porn to a class of eight-year-olds.

The teacher from Vicenza in north-eastern Italy's Veneto province wanted to play the children songs by British rock group Duran Duran when she made the potentially traumatising error, RAI reports.

However, the teacher has denied owning the stick that contained the porn scene.

She said she borrowed it from a student who allegedly brought the storage device that belonged to their mother, into her class.

The teacher, who has not been identified, said the stick was definitely not one of the many that she handed out to students at the start of the school year.

Pietro Sergio Cervellin, president of a Italian education body Istituto Gestito da Religiose, said counsellors would be made available to the students' parents to help them explain to the situation to their children.

"It seems like the best solution," he said.

"This way parents will be prepared to answer their children when they come to them with more questions about the incident."
