A former Texas elementary school teacher admitted to filming sexually explicit videos of herself inside her classroom, but contends that she is the victim in this situation.
The woman – who has not been identified because she has yet to be charged with any crimes – confessed that she filmed sexually explicit videos in her classroom and bathroom at the Gray Elementary school in Fort Bend County near Houston.
The former music teacher told KHOU 11, "It was a poor judgment on my part. I would never do it again."
The teacher – who reportedly resigned in February for undisclosed reasons – claimed she recorded the videos on a Sunday when she had stopped by the school to pick something up and nobody was on campus.
The illicit videos show the teacher stripping naked and flashing her bare breasts and buttocks, according to reports. The teacher's school identification card was allegedly visible in the videos.
The Lamar Consolidated Independent School District said it was not made aware of the shocking videos until Wednesday. The school district has since launched an investigation into the allegations.
Police have yet to charge the former teacher with any crime.
The former teacher said that she is a victim of revenge porn.
The woman claimed to have sent the videos to a man she was dating at the time. She said they had a nasty breakup and then he leaked the sexually explicit videos online.
The former teacher explained, "I've never sent this out to thousands of men. Like, I’m not that type of person. This was just a relationship, a private matter, and he released it."
She has allegedly filed a police report for revenge porn in Harris County.
Quanell X – Houston activist and former New Black Panther Nation leader – claimed to have made the school district aware of the illicit videos.
The activist delivered an eyebrow-raising press conference on Wednesday, where he said the video shows the former teacher "stripping down naked, bending over and showing you everything on the video and all you could see was cellulite and pubic hair."
"This woman obviously had lost her damn mind. She needs psychotropic medication. She pulls out her breasts and she’s juggling them — look like she’s about to fall over. Then she bends over and pulls down her panties," he added.
X suggested that authorities could "find something criminal to bring her into a courtroom for."
He added, "If we can put Donald Trump in the courtroom and find something to prosecute him for, don't tell me we can't find something to prosecute this woman for."
KHOU attempted to reach out to the unnamed ex-boyfriend for comment but was unsuccessful.

Your Daughter’s Face Could Be Hijacked For ‘Deepfake’ Porn
We are barely scratching the surface of the dystopian spike in image-based sexual abuse.Sens. Sasse and Merkley introduce bipartisan bill to crack down on porn sites making money from child rape
Sens. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) on Friday introduced new legislation to crack down on pornography websites that may be complicit in human sex trafficking or rape.
Their bill, called the "Stop Internet Sexual Exploitation Act," would require online platforms that host pornography to implement "critical safeguards to protect Americans from sexual exploitation online," the senators said in a news release.
A recent exposé by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof showed how Pornhub, one of the internet's largest and most popular pornography websites, permits videos featuring sex trafficking victims, non-consensual sex, child rape, and other heinous criminal activity on its platform with little or now oversight. Kristof reported that the victims of these crimes have little to no recourse to have videos of their abuse removed from the internet. Sasse and Merkley aim to change that with their bill.
"Human dignity matters. A decent society has an obligation to fight sexual exploitation and human trafficking," Sasse said. "For years, Pornhub and its parent company Mindgeek monetized rape, abuse, and child exploitation. While these suit-wearing traffickers got rich, their victims have lived with the pain and fear. That has to end now. Our bill is aimed squarely at the monsters who profit from rape. Washington ought to be able to come together to combat human trafficking and make this right."
"The posting of intimate photos and videos without participants' consent is a massive invasion of privacy that drives shame, humiliation, and potentially suicide," Merkley said. "While some online platforms have recently announced steps to change some practices, much more needs to be done. We must ensure that not another single life of a child, man, or woman is destroyed by these sites."
The legislation would impose several new restrictions on online pornography platforms to protect victims of abuse.
Under the proposed law, pornography websites would be required to verify the identity of any user who wants to upload a video to their website and the user must provide a signed consent form from every individual appearing in the video before it can be published. The law would create a private right of action against any video uploader who posts pornographic content without the consent of the individual(s) featured in the image or video, giving victims of "revenge porn" a right to sue.
Also, pornography websites would be required to feature a notice or banner on the website instructing how an individual can request removal of a video featuring persons who did not consent to having that content uploaded on the platform. Video downloads from pornographic websites would be prohibited by law.
Pornographic websites would also be required by law to maintain a 24-hour hotline staffed by the website that people can contact to request removal of a video that has been distributed without their consent. The website would be required by law to remove the flagged video within two hours. They would be required to use software to block a removed video from being re-uploaded after removal.
The Federal Trade Commission would be responsible for enforcing the various parts of this legislation. The bill would also create a database of individuals who have indicated they do not consent to having pornographic materials about them distributed on the internet and porn sites would be required to check new content against this database before it can be uploaded to their platforms.
In response to Kristof's damning article, Pornhub this week announced several policy changes to combat the uploading and distribution of abusive content. Going forward, the website will ban unverified uploaders and has suspended all previously uploaded content that was not created by verified users or Pornhub partners. The company purged more than 10 million videos that did not meet this standard, removing almost 80% of the content on its website.
Sasse and Merkley's legislation would force other websites to follow suit go even farther to crack down on abuse. Kristof praised the senators for working in a bipartisan fashion to fight against online rape videos and child pornography.

"The porn platforms have shown that self-regulation is not enough," Kristof tweeted Friday. "They did nothing for too long and simply monetized assaults on children. Some regulation is essential, along with liability both to compensate victims and incentivize better self-policing."
Democratic Kansas state House candidate hints alleged physical abuse of ex-girlfriend could have been prevented by 'Medicaid for all'
A 19-year-old Democratic candidate released a statement on Sunday regarding allegations of physical abuse made by his ex-girlfriend. Aaron Coleman, who is running for a seat in the Kansas state House of Representatives, unbelievably hinted that the alleged physical abuse that he is is accused of committed could have been prevented if "Medicaid for all" was passed.
Coleman won his primary last month despite confessing that he engaged in "bullying, revenge porn, and blackmail." Coleman defeated 13-year incumbent Stan Frownfelter in the Aug. 4 Democratic primary for the 37th District. There is no Republican challenger. Kristina Smith, a paralegal and treasurer of the Wyandotte County Republican Party, is pursuing a write-in candidacy, and provides the only opposition to Coleman winning the Kansas state House seat in November.
Last month, one of Coleman's ex-girlfriends came forward with accusations that he physically abused her. Taylor Passow said she met Coleman last November, and the two started dating. She said they rented an Airbnb in Kansas City on Dec. 27, 2019.
While in the hot tub, Coleman allegedly told Passow that he was interested in having a threesome, but she said she wasn't interested, according to The Intercept. She suggested that she might break up with him for one day on his birthday so that he could have one with other women. Passow said the proposition was a harmless joke.
"He sat there for a few seconds, then he jumped on top of me, put his hands around my throat and started squeezing, and slapped me three times, and said, 'I don't know where the f*** you think you're going,'" Passow alleges. She claims that she pushed him off of her.
Passow said that Coleman demanded that she apologize for threatening to break up with him, then stormed out of the hot tub, and went to the car.
Four days later, Passow and Coleman disputed what happened in the hot tub through text messages. She reportedly texted him, "You got on top of me and started choking me and slapping me. Then I broke up with you."
Coleman allegedly replied, "That never happened. You dumped me and I smacked you and you smacked me and I immediately got up and stormed out of the hot tub."
On Sunday, Coleman addressed the accusations of physical abuse with a curious statement released on Twitter.
"While it is true I was abusive to my ex-girlfriend, I do not agree with the characterization being made about our experience in the hot tub the day after Christmas," Coleman wrote. "I did not choke her. I also don't think she is intentionally lying, as I know large quantities of alcohol could be affecting both of our memories."
"Two months I dated Taylor were mutually abusive, and this is not a justification for what I did but the reason why I must lead by example," the statement read. "But words alone are not enough today. We must strive to create a society safe for women, which we currently do not do."
"I believe if we had more early childhood education funding, and taught what healthy interpersonal relationships look like, my ex and I would have been less toxic to each other," Coleman claimed.
"Additionally, we must pass Medicaid for All so people can receive counseling and mental health support based on the need for treatment and not ability to pay," Coleman pivoted.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 09-06-2020Statement from Democratic Party nominee Aaron Coleman of Kansas’ 37th District on… https://t.co/lx5qUSrYDZ— Aaron Coleman 🌹 (@Aaron Coleman 🌹)1599408097.0
Coleman, who is a community college student, confessed in August that he carried out abusive behavior toward multiple girls in middle school.
"In exercising my first amendment rights, earlier this week I crossed a boundary and offended people," Coleman said in an Aug. 1 apology. "After careful deliberation, I recognize I responded impulsively regarding a serious issue. For that I am sorry. Additionally, I apologize to the Democratic Party for my actions which are in no way a reflection of the party's ideals."
One woman said Coleman's middle school abuse included "calling me fat, telling me to kill myself, like I'm never going to find anyone, like I'm worthless, just downgrading me every day."
Passow also alleges that Coleman hinted that she kill herself. "Air out the clip into your head," he reportedly told her on Dec. 31, four days after the hot tub incident. "Mag dump yourself. Do that midnight tonight. If I never hear from you again then I'll know what happened."
Democratic candidate, 19, wins primary after admitting to past revenge porn and blackmailing girl for nude photos
A 19-year-old Democratic candidate, who confessed that he carried out abusive behavior toward multiple girls in middle school, won his primary race for the Kansas state House of Representatives. Community college student Aaron Coleman won his primary despite confessing that he engaged in "bullying, revenge porn, and blackmail."
Coleman defeated 13-year incumbent Stan Frownfelter, 823 to 809, in the Aug. 4 Democratic primary for the 37th District. The results were certified this week. There is no Republican challenger for the seat, which makes Coleman a near shoo-in for the November election.
However, Coleman has baggage that has his own party questioning whether he is fit to serve office. During the campaign, he told former Republican state lawmaker John Whitmer that he would "laugh and giggle when you get COVID and die," according to the Kansas City Star.
"In exercising my first amendment rights, earlier this week I crossed a boundary and offended people," Coleman said in an Aug. 1 apology. "After careful deliberation, I recognize I responded impulsively regarding a serious issue. For that I am sorry. Additionally, I apologize to the Democratic Party for my actions which are in no way a reflection of the party's ideals."
But there are far darker allegations against Coleman, who is accused of harassing girls online in middle school. The Kansas City Star released an editorial earlier this month that detailed the accusations against the progressive Democratic candidate.
"I was just in disbelief that another man that doesn't respect women is in power," said one of Coleman's alleged victims, who is now 18 years old.
The woman said Coleman's abuse included "calling me fat, telling me to kill myself, like I'm never going to find anyone, like I'm worthless, just downgrading me every day."
She claims that he sent her messages that read, "F*** you you f***ing ratchet fat s**t. F*** off whale. Go on a diet and get some braces."
She revealed that the abuse in sixth grade caused her to try to commit suicide.
"I tried to end my life," she said.
Another young woman alleged that Coleman attempted to extort her with one of her nude photos when they were in middle school five years ago.
"He got one of my nudes and blackmailed me with it and told me if I didn't send him more he would (send) it to all of my friends and family," she wrote on social media, according to the Star. "And when I didn't send him more, he sent it to everyone I knew."
The victim wasn't sure how Coleman obtained the naked photo of her.
"All I know is he's an awful person and he should not be allowed to run for anything," she stated.
In 2016, then-Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) signed a bill to outlaw revenge porn in the state, making it illegal to post nude photos or videos of a person on the internet without his or her consent. The first offense is presumptive probation, and the second offense is felony blackmail with up to six years in prison.
Another young woman claimed that Coleman "harassed me for months, it got so bad that he found out my family's home phone and wouldn't stop calling it until we picked up."
On his Facebook page dedicated to his campaign, Coleman admitted to the accusations.
"The charges include: bullying, revenge porn, and blackmail — I just want to make clear all these allegations are both true and occurred only digitally," a June 17 post from The Aaron Coleman for Kansas Facebook page stated before it was deleted. "I denounce these actions and they are the actions of a sick and troubled 14-yo boy."
"I made serious mistakes in middle school and I deeply regret and apologize for them. I've grown up a great deal since then," Coleman told the Star editorial board in a statement.
In an email statement to the Associated Press, Coleman said the accusations were "accurate."
Coleman noted that he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder at the age of 15 because he was put "in a closet" during elementary school. Doug Powers, the assistant superintendent of the Kansas City-area school district where Coleman attended elementary school, has denied the allegations.
Coleman describes himself as a "proud feminist."
"I will work to repeal the bills my opponent passed that prohibit the civil rights of women," the candidate wrote in July. "Now more than ever, it is super important we have leaders who have dedicated their life to the advancement of women."
A spokesperson for Kansas Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly told the Associated Press that Coleman is "not fit to serve in the Legislature."
