Sexual harrassment and sex charges involving SMS

Two cases made the newspapers in the US, on sexual harrassment and sex charges involving SMS:

From the Home News Tribune. A hearing in the case of high school history teacher and former township Councilman Richard Walling, charged with harassing one of his female students through instant-text messaging, has been postponed and has yet to be rescheduled.

From the Washington Post. A physical education instructor at a Northeast middle school has been charged with having sex with a 14-year-old female student. The girl told D.C. investigators the relationship started March 22 when she began text messaging Mr. Jones on his cell phone.
