Students did indeed spread the photo around Snapchat and made his life at school horrible. I've witnessed similar things happen before. The teacher was justifiably embarrassed and infuriated. He eventually found the harassment unbearable and was prepared to quit. Unfortunately, he then made the choice to make up a story and wrote those unlikely communications. I'm not saying those letters are as preposterous as the Jonbenet's "ransom letter," but they're pretty ridiculous.
