Teacher Christopher Doyle who posted nudes of his former student Kaitlyn Cannon online RETURNS to the classroom after quietly getting a new job at a different school – as victim says: ‘Something doesn’t sit right’
A New Jersey math teacher who uploaded nude photos of a former student to a twisted “revenge porn” site is reportedly working at another high school just weeks after going to court.
Christopher Doyle appeared to be teaching at Perth Amboy High School in late August, but no longer works there.
According to a biography on the site, which has since been deleted, he would teach Algebra 1, Algebra 1 Honors and Geometry CP at the Freshman Academy.
“Looking forward to a fun and exciting year,” he wrote.
Doyle’s name is no longer on the teacher list and most of those subjects are now taught by a certain Suzanne Salazar.
The disgraced teacher was ordered to pay $10,000 in damages after Kaitlyn Cannon, 29, sued him for posting nude photos she took of herself while in college on the website in 2018.

Kaitlyn Cannon was a college student when sexually explicit photos she took and sent to her boyfriend ended up in the hands of her high school math teacher. He posted the images on a Dutch site called Anon-IB

“I believe he should not be allowed to teach in schools,” she said Fox News digital. ‘That is something that is important to me. I don’t think it’s right.’
Doyle was Cannon’s math teacher at Wall High School, but she was four years out of high school and attending Penn State when she took the photos in 2016. She sent them to her then-boyfriend.
Two years later, the images appeared on Anon-IB, a website chock full of revenge porn. This term refers to sexually explicit images that are distributed without the person’s consent.
Under New Jersey state law, Doyle committed a criminal invasion of privacy when he uploaded Cannon’s photos.
Her face was visible in some photos, while others used her first name.
The 29-year-old had no idea how Doyle’s photos ended up. The friend said he lost his phone.
Despite being diagnosed with PTSD and struggling with lingering concerns about the images circulating online, Cannon was only awarded $10,000 in damages. She testified Aug. 16 in Ocean County Superior Court.
Wanting to help other victims by sharing her own story, Cannon created a TikTok page where she talks about topics like consent and revenge porn laws.

As Cannon’s story reached more ears, the school district was prompted to take action. A local news story was reposted on a community Facebook page, sparking outrage among locals who called for his resignation.
A post from August 26 read: ‘Christopher Doyle, a former teacher at Wall High School, posted explicit photos of a former student. He resigned in 2018 and now he is a teacher at Perth Amboy High School! Our Board of Education must resign!’
When Fox News contacted the school district on September 8, a spokesperson said Doyle was not an employee of the district.
The same day, an update was posted to the Facebook community that read: “Update: Christopher Doyle is no longer employed by the Perth Amboy Board of Education school district.
‘Our voices are slowly but surely being heard.’
The school declined to expand the vetting process at Fox’s request. It’s unclear how Doyle was hired in the first place, but community members had theories.
One woman said she had seen similar situations happen in her thirty years of experience as a teacher. “I’ve seen teachers and administrators get tossed around even when they’ve broken the law or acted inappropriately. Now that there is a big shortage, it is even worse.’
Another wondered if the decision to hire Doyle had anything to do with the ongoing teacher shortage.
While the nationwide shortage has affected states in different ways, data shows Schoolarooan education research firm, showed 85.96 teachers per 1,000 enrolled students in New Jersey.
This is significantly better than other states such as Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska and Nevada, which had some of the lowest rates in the country.

The site where Cannon’s sensitive images were posted was taken down in 2018, but new versions have since emerged
Another mystery is how the site where Cannon’s nudes were posted still functions. All fifty states have some form of legislation banning revenge porn.
The site was seized by Dutch police in 2018, but has since resurfaced, advertising ‘archives’ of old Anon-IB content. The operators try to profit from stolen photos and videos of girls, some as young as teenagers.
They charge users for access to different ‘levels’ of content and encourage sick people to make payments using methods that are harder to trace, including cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The domain is registered under NameSilo, LLC, a web hosting company headquartered in Arizona.
Doyle posted an apology on Facebook before departing Wall High School, insisting he simply made a mistake.
“To any of you that I have hurt, or that you have noticed that I have hurt, I am truly sorry and I can only hope that you forgive me as well,” he said.
