A former Georgia chorus teacher was acquitted Wednesday of criminal charges in connection with a suggestive dance routine students performed in his classroom in 2008.
Ending a two-day trial in DeKalb County State Court, jurors found Nathan Grigsby not guilty of five misdemeanor charges of contributing to the depravation of a minor.
Outside the courtroom, Grigsby's supporters erupted in cheers.
The case raised questions about where to draw the line between teenage misbehavior and criminal acts - and how much responsibility a teacher bears for such conduct.
That's crazy. I saw that video, and he should not have been doing what he was in front of a roomful of high school kids. It was disgusting, and if people don't know what's appropriate behavior and what's not around young people, they shouldn't be teachers.
