A Missouri high school teacher says she has been placed on leave after officials discovered that she was performing on a pornography website to supplement her salary.

Brianna Coppage, 28, who taught English at St. Clair High School, says her teaching days are probably over, but she acknowledged she knew the risks.

Coppage told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was put on leave on Wednesday after being interviewed by two administrators. Her access to school email and other software was suspended while the district investigates, she said.

“It was kind of always like this cloud hanging over my head, like I never knew when I would be discovered,” Coppage said in an interview. “Then, about two weeks ago, my husband and I were told that people were finding out about it. So I knew this day was coming.”

    I honestly think a publisher might be interested in a book like this. You should consider it. They have people to help with the writing and if you’re ethical and give a coauthored credit I bet there’s a ghostwriter out there who would love to publish a good old fashioned muckraker with you.

      Eh, maybe when I retire. I’m dependent on these assholes for my living. And I’m trying to move shit in the right direction.
