An eighth-grade teacher in Arizona and her husband have lost their school jobs after they recorded OnlyFans videos in her classroom — a side hustle she claimed was needed to complement their low salaries.
Using the alias “Khloe Karter,” Thunderbolt Middle School science teacher Samantha Peer uploaded the X-rated videos for her OnlyFans page, which her students found and shared amongst themselves, the Today’s News-Herald reported.
Her husband, Nautilus Elementary School fourth-grade teacher Dillon Peer, also took part within the adult productions contained in the Lake Havasu Unified School District constructing, in response to the report.
Samantha said she resigned “under pressure” Oct. 31 after being placed on paid administrative leave and probation. Dillon was let go 4 days later.
On Friday, she released a video explaining that she and her hubby resorted to creating X-rated videos due to their low salaries.
“My children are crucial thing to me, and I’m already spending countless hours outside of my contract time on extra school activities, and I don’t think it’s fair that I actually have to sacrifice my very own children’s time because our skilled salary didn’t pay enough,” she said, WFLA reported.
Samantha said she began creating the content at first of the summer to assist cover her needs.
“It got to some extent where our family was not in a position to survive on our two teachers’ income,” she said.
“I selected an anonymous name in addition to blocking the complete state of Arizona on OnlyFans so it wasn’t accessible to anyone living within the state,” Samantha explained.
The teacher admitted she created explicit content in a classroom and advertised it, but claimed she did so after school hours on the weekend with no students present.
It was unclear how the scholars found her content, which they circulated amongst themselves.
Samantha said she was placed on administrative leave after a community member notified the district in regards to the content on Oct. 24.
“Two days later, I had asked that an person who was assigned to my case be removed because that they had created a hostile work environment between me and other co-workers for several years during my employment,” she said.
“I didn’t feel protected with them knowing this information, and I felt that they’d spread it in retaliation for their very own personal vendetta,” Samantha added.
She said she was told if she resigned before a college board meeting, the district wouldn’t publicize the sordid matter — but the pictures were then shared amongst teachers.
“These teachers were also telling students my anonymous name and showing them my page,” Samantha alleged. “This was also sent to the parents and so they decided to do the identical thing as well.”
On Nov. 7, the college notified parents about students sharing the specific videos.
“It has come to our attention that students have been airdropping explicit material. The pictures didn’t occur throughout the school day and the person depicted now not works for LHUSD,” the e-mail said, Arizona’s Family reported.
“Please remove all images out of your child’s phone and talk with them in regards to the appropriate use of technology,” it added.
No criminal charges have been filed against the educator, the news outlet said.
“I’m absolutely outraged. Our youngsters shouldn’t have been exposed to this,” said Alea Bilski, the mother of an eighth-grader, adding that Samantha’s account was linked to her non-alias social media pages.
“If it was ‘just’ an Only Fans account I wouldn’t be as upset because then that might 100% be on the youngsters’ parents, but this was public and a simple Google search to search out the whole lot,” Bilski told the News-Herald.
One other parent, Kristina Minor, said Samantha “was sharing these links to her sex site on her social media accounts, that are public, [on] which children follow her.”
Minor said the teacher used her school yearbook photo on OnlyFans on a post that claims, “Who desires to be my next teacher’s pet?”
“I’m a taxpayer. I’m not paying these teachers to film pornograhy. They’re being paid to show our children, and set higher standards for them,” she said.
Schools spokeswoman Andrea Helart told the News-Herald that the district cannot comment on personnel matters.
