A primary school teacher in Reykjanesbær, Iceland, has been charged with allegedly smearing feces on the doors and vehicles of individuals who have accused Iris Helga Jónatansdóttir of stalking. The teacher, described as being in his 40s and a recipient of teaching awards for his work, has been temporarily suspended from his position.
