Oh he kept the picture on his cell phone for over a month, wha wha wha. You are assuming that he knew how to delete if from his cell phone, I mean he had to have the student show him how to send it from phone to phone then phone to computer. If you dont use the application on the phone you dont know how it works. He probably assumed that the picture moved from the phone to the computer. To

At least I have the guts to attach a name to my opinions unlike anonymous (is that plowman?) who tries to smear an innocent man's reputation from behind a veil.

Annon's comment: "Mr. Oei kept a picture of an underage student wearing only panties on his personal cell phone for nearly a month." Huh? As Oei explained he didn't know how to use that feature on his

Ed: Let's talk about the opinion of the court. Oei's lawyers filed a frivolous motion to have Plowman dismissed on the grounds he was biased. The judge ruled in favor of Plowman, saying he has done nothing out of the ordinary. To say he has been prejudice, biased, or overzealous is a bunch of hooey. It is no wonder Oei's legal bills were so high and the timeline so long when the

Mr. Plowman, a social concervative in a blueing election district, choose to gamble his next chance at reelection on a risky high profile sex case. He apparently thought that by upping the ante with bogus child porn charges he could force Oei with limited resources into pleading gulty to a lesser charge and resign.

If Oei had cooperated Plowman would have had the perfect election

I did not know it was the job of an LCPS administrator to obtain an inappropriate picture of a minor student from another student and keep it on his personal cell phone. From his own story of the ordeal in his letter to the Washington Post, Mr. Oei said he did inform his principle of the 'sexting' picture, which was proper procedure, and she instructed him to transfer it to his OFFICE

The prosecutor manipulated the grand jury. When only one side is presented by an "legal expert" it is very easy to mislead people. That is why it is best to remember innocent until proven guilty. Even a incompetent prosector can "indict a ham sandwich!"

If the charges against Mr. Oei were so wrongful, then why did a Grand Jury indict him? The charges were dropped only because Judge Horne had a different opinion on what constitutes child pornography than did Mr. Plowman.

Even if one believes Mr. Oei should be reimbursed for his legal bills, the reasonableness of the fees was questioned by LCPS Counsel Bill Chapman. It was his opinion

It's good of the school board to reimburse Mr. Oei his costs of defending himself. I think, John, you have the right attitude about Mr. Oei's liability.

My question is why this must come from the school's budget and not the county's budget? Why was this allowed to continue for so long? Why didn't school and / or the school board take a more proactive stance with
