The lawsuit seeks damages for “injury to reputation, mental suffering, and emotional distress” in addition to legal fees.
The lawsuit says Arthur was forced to resign or she would have had to go before the school board.
After the incident, the 16-year-old student that sent out the pictures was arrested and charged with aggravated voyeurism and computer crimes.
