A Catholic school teacher on Friday was facing charges after allegedly e-mailing topless pictures of herself to a 15-year-old male student, MyFoxStl.com reported.

English teacher Melissa Moss, 27, was fired from her job at the Barat Academy in November after school officials said the teen’s parents, Robert and Kelly Pfeiffer, found the controversial pictures while monitoring his Internet use.

"It is very disturbing and you know it's kind of a sign of the times the way we live with a lot of Internet access and Facebook and things like that. As a parent you have to be on constant vigil to make sure, you have to know what your kids are getting into," Robert Pfeiffer told MyFoxStl.com.
