Possibility #3 (none / 0) (#11)

Here is another possibility (found this off the majikthise links that xaxat provided).  The student looked at a website about hairstyles (something that teens might be interested in) and malware in the computer involuntarily redirected to porn sites.
This according to a forensic expert that looked at the computer.
http://www.hair-styles.org/ was accessed at 8:14:24 A.M., based upon the hair style images uploaded to the PC we were led to believe that there were students using the computer to search out hair styles. The user went to http://www.crayola.com/ at 8:35:27 A.M. The user continued accessing the original hair site and was directed to http://new-hair-styles.com/. This site had pornographic links, pop-ups were then initiated by http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com.

If anyone is at fault it is the people that produce this malware and the school for not having proper filtering software (as a matter of fact it had no firewall and outdated antivirus software).
