Crystal Defanti made an embarassing mistake that caused quite a stir with her fifth grade students and their families when she accidentally uploaded a home-made sex video onto a DVD of school memories and sent it home with her students.
One student's reaction to seeing his teacher was, "'Dad, is that
Ms. Defanti?"
From an article at
CBS News:
The offending DVD starts with a menu screen that displays various school trips and functions, and when you click on one of them, you see kids in a classroom sharing stories. They start clapping, then the video suddenly cuts to sex.
"It goes from my son, straight to her on the couch," said 'Joe,' who saw the video along with his son and did not wish to be identified. "My son's reaction was, 'Dad, is that Ms. Defanti?'"
"We were up till midnight doing the 'birds and the bees,'" he added.
The person in the video turned out to be Isabelle Jackson Elementary fifth grade teacher Crystal Defanti.
"All she could say was that it was a horrible mix up," Joe said.
The teacher called his home the day after his child got the DVD, crying hysterically, profusely apologizing and asking the man and his wife to call every parent they knew to stop their kids from seeing the DVD too.
The Elk Grove Unified School District says they are investigating, but legal experts say it's unlikely that the teacher will lose her job.
