University of Iowa teacher's aide accidentally sends cybersex pics instead of homework

YET another reason why you shouldn't share sexy digital pictures of yourself with anyone -- accidents happen.

THE big fear with naked selfies is that they'll end up somewhere you don't want them to and forever tarnish your reputation. But there is also the risk that you might accidentally send them on to the wrong recipient.

That's what happened to a teacher's assistant at the University of Iowa who emailed her class saucy images of her having cybersex instead of the mathematical solutions to problem questions 76 and 78.

According to Total Frat Move, a university student blog, the attachments were "nude gifs" of a cybersex chat between the aide and a man.

The email was sent to around 80 amused, horrified and occasionally sympathetic students, who reported the news on Twitter.

Akward moment when one of the TA's for my math class sends out screenshots of her VERY "private chat" to all of her students #iowa

The brave assistant did turn up to her timetabled class the next day, students said, despite her embarrassing predicament.

Total Frat Move reported the assistant tried to "act like nothing happened but (was) clearly very rattled".

In a statement to The Gazette, the university confirmed the email was sent containing "inappropriate content". It requested students not share the pictures and delete the email.

"The individual who sent the messages has stated it was an accident," spokesman Tom Moore said. "She regrets her actions."
