VINELAND, N.J. - November 21, 2008 - (WPVI) -- She was an adult film star who went by the name Crystal Gunns. But she reportedly says that's part of her past.
She now an aid at D'Ippolito Elementary in Vineland, New Jersey, and that has some parents furious.
"I understand it's her personal life, but I don't feel someone with that background should be working with young children at all," said preschool teacher Maria Martin.
Crystal Gunns is apparently retired. She's now Louisa Tuck, a cafeteria and playground aide at D'Ippolito Elementary.
They were stunned.
A background check turned up nothing. They wanted to take action, but lawyers advised them not to. Tuck hadn't done anything illegal.
Some parents agree.
"It's in her past. We all do things in our past. And as long as she's not interfering with any kids, I don't see any problem with it," said Raul Cordova of Vineland, N.J.
Action News was unable to reach Tuck. She also works at the local YMCA. A co-worker described her as a great person.
In a interview with a local newspaper, Tuck defended her ability to work around children despite her past career.
(edit)
The school superintendent says the district is investigating all of it's options to see what sort of recourse it has.

Oy! That I could do things in my past.
Hear Hear!
Crystal Gunns (born March 20, 1976 in The Bronx, New York) is an American adult model and exotic dancer. Gunns is well known for her large breast implants.
Cheers!
We have some sluts right here on FR!!!
How do you know that any teacher you know isn’t a slut and just hasn’t been filmed and paid for doing it?
I’ll bet the superintendent had something to say about this.
Oh...snap!! Just what I was thinking.
Besides - she’s not teaching, she’s working in the cafeteria and on the playground.

Board of Education President Frank Giordano is unhappy with the situation and personally feels the woman should be fired. But Superintendent Charles "Chalky" Ottinger said the district has been advised against taking action. "Not that we don't want to," Ottinger said. |

If the teaching gig doesn’t work out, she looks like she’d make a good long distance runner, a jockey, or professional pogo stick-ist.
Hiring strangers to hire strangers to look after your children for eight hours a day...Who would have thought it would go so wrong?
I wonder how many parents actually care enough to pull their kids out of school because of this. If they don’t/won’t, they need to stop whining.
Crackhead. :-P
just for that im not going to use any caps or punctuation when i post to u
Because I’m old and film didn’t exist when I went to school.
Potential naughty teacher ping material..........
And how do you know that?
Feel free to add Connecticut to that list.
It will be very interesting to watch and see what happens in that school district. My guess is that they will fire her and will cite her past and it's easy accessibility on the internet to be a disruptive influence to the operation of the school and a significantly undermining influence to discipline.. Lawsuits will ensue, and many parents will probably pull their kids out anyway, wondering how many other shady people have gone undiscovered.
It is up to her to prove she is of proper character to TEACH children.
(sort of like the line for the graphic novel “dark knight” where a backstory newsreport has a pornstar remaking snow white “for the children”)
The real issue is how is she living her life now. IF she is still in the adult film business then it is inappropriate. It would be no different than having swingers for teachers.
We cannot read minds. But we do know that sex deviants have a high recidivism rate. Therefore, we cannot risk having children exposed to them.
As I recall, Jesus forgave a certain young lady (more than one, actually) who had turned away from sin. He certainly didn’t rub her nose in her previous errors. Quite the contrary in fact.
Who are we to do otherwise?
