Teacher Resigns After Porn Found in Classroom

Jun. 5, 2003

AMERICAN FORK, Utah (AP) -- A teacher at American Fork Junior High School has resigned after pornographic videotapes were found in his classroom.

The tapes were found in three duffel bags hidden above the ceiling tiles in the classroom. There was no indication that any students had seen the tapes, which were discovered by maintenance workers on Tuesday. Class had let out for the year last Friday.

Alpine School Superintendent Vern Henshaw said he was not releasing the teacher's name. The teacher was suspended after the tapes were found, and he has since resigned.

The matter was referred to police, but Lt. Darren Falslev said there was nothing illegal about the 30 videos. Falslev did say he thought it was inappropriate to store the tapes at a school. No criminal charges will be filed, however.

Falslev said the teacher cooperated with the investigation and apparently just didn't want to keep the tapes at home.

Tuesday...yeah right. I bet they "discovered" it a little sooner and worked all weekend to verify that it was really bad.

At first I thought this couldn't be right, then I noticed this perv lives in Utah.

He won't need to worry about being unemployed for too long. Just about anywhere else, the teacher's union would make it impossible for this guy to be punished.

Hey, he might as well apply. He can lobby for the feminist vote.

"Maverick teacher goes extra mile to teach students real-life lessons." Like how to use condoms and such. It could work.

Thirty legal porn tapes ..huh?

Guy is recently married or has a live in girlfriend and was probably ordered to throw them away.

He probably tossed most and these are the best 30. Just guessing.

Ahhh! Now, see?! That's using your noodle. This guy's just not thinking on his feet. He has lots of options.

Actually, I'm surprised he didn't say "what tapes? Did junior high school boys hide porno tapes in my classroom?!"

Okay, stupid question: Why did he have this stuff at work and not just leave it at home like the rest of us?
