Houston news: Teacher filmed pornographic videos at school, activists say

They said one video showed the teacher undressing in a classroom and the other was filmed in a toilet during school hours.

RICHMOND, Texas — A former Lamar Consolidated ISD teacher is under investigation for allegedly filming sexually explicit videos of herself in an elementary school classroom.

Lamar CISD said the woman previously resigned in February for unspecified reasons. The district said it was not aware of the videos until Wednesday.

They are too graphic to show.

“We have a shocking video,” community activist Candace Matthews said at a news conference.

Matthews and Quanell X say the video shows the former teacher undressing in a classroom.

“And also a second video showing this porn video in the school bathroom, during school hours,” Matthews said.

Activists say it happened at Gray Elementary in Richmond.

LCISD said it does not believe any children were present during the filming, but is still investigating.

“If she did this in a classroom, what else would she do? » » asked Quanell

We are not identifying the teacher because no criminal complaint has been filed, but an active investigation is now open.

The activists are demanding, among other things, the revocation of the old teaching license.

“This woman should never be allowed to be an educator again,” said Quanell X. “This woman should never be allowed to work with children again.”

LCISD parent Barbara Villareal was shocked when she stopped to find out what all the commotion was about.

“Are you serious? As a parent of a child who goes to Lamar Consolidated, it’s amazing,” Villareal told us. “And I hope that’s something that won’t be glossed over.”

LCISD said this was the teacher’s first year in the district.

We contacted her but received no response.

“This afternoon, the district received copies of two videos from a former employee that were allegedly recorded on school property. The videos were provided by a citizen. Our agents began an investigation and subsequently Upon initial review, do not believe children were present during the videotaping incident. However, the investigator is working to verify the timestamps and circumstances surrounding the recordings. If the district becomes aware that criminal behavior or conduct violating the Educator Ethics Code of the Texas Administrative Code has occurred, we will engage with the appropriate reporting agencies.
