Matthew Barrett accidently shows porn to schoolkids

A POLITICIAN in the US inadvertently projected a collection of pictures of naked women to high school students on a wall in the middle of a civics lesson.
The Ohio legislator, Matthew Barrett, was talking to the students about how a bill becomes law when he presented pornographic images instead of graphs to the class, Associated Press reported.

A police spokesman told AP that the memory stick containing the images and a computer were seized by officers and Mr Barrett was questioned about the incident.

Mr Barrett reportedly said that he heard “snickers” from some of the students when the images were displayed and that he immediately unplugged the memory stick. He told AP that the school's technology director determined the stick had a directory of nude images in addition to his presentation on civics lessons. "I have no idea where these came from," Mr Barrett said.
"Really. It's not mine. Somebody musta left it here. By mistake..."

#3  The Cleveland TV stations were reporting late last night that Barrett released a statement where he said (IIRC) that one of his kids had downloaded the pr0n and "this is an internal family matter."

I hope that "internal family matter" means "long father-and-son conversation in the woodshed" and not "Gee, Junior, what's the address of that site again?"

Note that the article does not report on his political affiliation (Democrat).
