Teacher faces porn allegations
OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — Student claims that a junior high teacher was moonlighting as a porn star were initially dismissed after school officials said they couldn't find any images of her on the Internet.
The investigation was quickly restarted, however, when other teachers showed them downloads from smartphones, and the officials realized the school computer system blocked access to sex sites.
"I saw parts of the video," Oxnard School District Superintendent Jeff Chancer said Wednesday. "It's hard-core pornography."
The teacher at Richard B. Haydock Intermediate School in Oxnard was
placed on paid administrative leave Monday. Her name was not released, but a school site administrator believes she's the one seen in the video, Chancer said.
Officials said no district students were seen in the video.
On Tuesday, the district sent a letter to parents of students at all three of its junior high schools, asking that their children not search Internet sex sites for the teacher's image.
"It has been alleged that one of our teachers is depicted in at least one pornographic video and possibly others on the Internet," Chancer said in the letter.
Asked if the curiosity of 12-, 13- and 14-year-olds might actually be piqued by such a notice, he said, "I
Chancer wouldn't say if the teacher acknowledged or denied it was her image on the video. He also declined to give her age or other information, saying that involved a personnel matter.
don't know."
The teacher's contract does not contain a moral turpitude clause, but Chancer said the California Education Code outlines employment conditions that could lead to her being disciplined or fired.
ELECTION
"We're trying to determine if there's a nexus on what she does on her own time and what she does in the classroom," he said.
The Oxnard Police Department was also notified, but spokeswoman Monica Munoz said there is no criminal investigation.

Romney 'prepared to fight' for presidency
BOSTON — It might not be pretty, but Mitt Romney's campaign insists he'll be the last man standing.
The candidate himself said Wednesday that he's "prepared to fight all the way" to the Republican National Convention in late summer to go up against President Barack Obama in the fall.
"We've got the time and the resources and a plan to get all the delegates, and we think that will get done before the convention," Romney said in an interview with CNBC.
He lost four of the 10 states that
voted on Super Tuesday and won marquee Ohio by less than 1 percentage point. But he's far ahead in the race for convention delegates, a point repeated by top campaign aides who briefed reporters during a Wednesday post-mortem.
Their bottom line: It's going to be a long, hard-fought spring. And while Romney may continue to make mistakes and struggle to unite voters and the GOP establishment behind him, he is, in the words of one adviser, "ahead of the other guys."
In a memo to reporters, political director Rich Beeson said Tuesday's voting "dramatically reduced the likelihood that any of Gov.
Romney's opponents can obtain the Republican nomination."
In the document, Beeson said Romney's six wins increased his lead in the delegate race much more than popular vote totals indicate. Romney now has 415 delegates to Rick Santorum's 176 delegates, according to an Associated Press tally.
But senior aides on Wednesday wouldn't identify any upcoming state where Romney is likely to win. Next up are contests in Kansas, Alabama and Mississippi — conservative states where he could struggle. There's a potential bright spot in Illinois, where a special political action committee that supports him is already airing TV
Romney also has acknowledged making a series of campaign mistakes and has said he is working to improve as a candidate. In the CNBC interview, he acknowledged that it's impossible to know whether his plan to cut marginal tax rates by 20 percent will add to the deficit.
for his rivals to surpass him in delegates.
He said details still need to be worked out with Congress.
Romney's campaign says Super Tuesday was the final opportunity
