Former teacher Ashley Peterson found not guilty of encouraging student to send nude photos.

Ashley Jordan Peterson, a former Fargo Public Schools staff member, was found not guilty by a Cass County District Court jury of charges that she encouraged a 17-year-old student to send her nude photos. Peterson faced allegations of promoting a sexual performance by a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a child. The jury deliberated for four hours after a nearly four-day trial. Despite the prosecution's claims, the defense highlighted the lack of physical evidence, as police could not retrieve any inappropriate photos or messages.
