Eighth Grader Charged With Felony Cybercrime For Changing Teacher's Desktop Wallpaper

• Prison Planet

An eighth grade student in Florida was charged with a felony cybercrime Wednesday after changing his teacher's desktop background.

According to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, 14-year-old middle school student Domanik Green accessed the school's network late last month shortly after obtaining an admin-level password.

In an attempted prank, Green changed the computer's desktop wallpaper to a picture of two men kissing while a substitute filled in for his teacher.

Speaking with the Tampa Bay Times' Josh Solomon, Green, who had previously been suspended for three days for accessing the network, stated that the goal of the prank was to simply "annoy" a disliked teacher.

"I logged into a teacher's computer who I didn't like and tried putting inappropriate pictures onto his computer to annoy him," Green said.
