Mahomes left the field furious, throwing his helmet on the sideline in frustration with the officials. Head coach Andy Reid and M...

Teachers have been outed for moonlighting in adult content like OnlyFans. Do they have legal recourse?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:43:24 GMT

By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH (Associated Press)At a small rural Missouri high school, two English teachers shared a secret: Both were posting adult content on OnlyFans, the subscription-based website known for sexually explicit content.The site and others like it provide an opportunity for those willing to dabble in pornography to earn extra money — sometimes lots of it. The money is handy, especially in relatively low-paying fields like teaching, and many post the content anonymously while trying to maintain their day jobs.But some outed teachers, as well as people in other prominent fields such as law, have lost their jobs, raising questions about personal freedoms and how far employers can go to avoid stigma related to their employees’ after-hour activities.At St. Clair High School southwest of St. Louis, it all came crashing down this fall for 28-year-old Brianna Coppage and 31-year-old Megan Gaither.“You’re tainted and seen as a liability,” Gaither lamented on Facebook after she wa...
