A YOUNG woman teacher at a £7,000-a-year Stockport school is at the centre of a sex video storm.
Stockport Grammar has confirmed it is investigating allegations that Sarah Green appeared in a sexually explicit internet ad before working at the school. And since the Stockport Express exclusively broke the story, on Wednesday, the school has confirm that Miss Green has been suspended.
The raunchy video, which is currently on Youtube and several other websites (click here to see it), attracting over 35,000 viewers, has been circulating among pupils at the school - leading several angry parents to complain to the Stockport Express.
One mother of two children at the school, who asked not to be named, said: "It is absolutely awful morally. It is dreadful, absolutely dreadful - especially given the type of school she teaches in. It will kill her.
"It’s something she’s done a long time ago. Years ago, before all this technology, nobody would have known.
"Apart from her being dismissed there’s nothing else that can happen."
Another parent added: "It appears her character is possibly not best suited to such a highly regarded school. It is possibly not suitable for this person to be teaching young impressionable students."
The sleazy film made as an advert, shows three building site workers having a series of explicit simulated sexual encounters with three attractive women - one of whom is now allegedly the grammar school teacher.
Underneath the clip on Youtube, 25 users claiming to be her pupils - or their friends - have made comments.
One posted by username ‘upper6th’ on Monday, reads: "Aagh Miss *****, how many teenage boys have you just sent crashing into puberty .... perhaps you could sign autographs at the bag racks."
Another says: "no way the first woman in this is a teacher in my school! Miss ***** haha that mint."
A third says: "hahaha she tried to deny it when we asked her", while one posted last Wednesday reads: "she is never gonna live down our next lesson."
The school confirmed it is currently looking into the allegations.
Headteacher Andrew Chicken said: "The school is investigating the origin and circulation of the film clip on the internet which allegedly contains images of a member of the teaching staff."
Insisting he could neither confirm nor deny that the teacher was the same person in the film, he added: "This investigation centres on allegations which relate to her employment before she joined the school in September 2006."
A spokesman for Scruffs, the brand advertised by the clip, told the Express the woman in their advert had the company’s support.
Chris Dollman, the company’s marketing manager, said: "We used her services to promote our product - it was a tongue-in-cheek thing.
"She did something for us - it was her job - she was an actress and a model at the time.
"Now it has come back to haunt her, and it’s very unfortunate.
"It’s not as though it’s hard porn."

When I read the story and discovered that there basically is NO story I was mightily disappointed.
Must be a quiet news day in Stockport......

We do live in the age of Youtube and Miss G has seen a media melee this week because we do give more information out about ourselves than we have ever done before.
The video is no more shocking than a carry on film and a lot funnier. Would Sir Edmund Shaa be cursing the day he founded the grammer? No.
My greatest concerns are about the comments left by the pupils about the video. Surely lewd and sexists comments about staff cannot be tolerated. With the same thought in mind, I wonder if the parents who showed so much anger really know what their own children are posting to the internet which may well come back to haunt them all?
This is a new age - castigating a teacher for being attractive is new to me. Please bring back school Ma'ams.

If what has been documented in the press is to be believed, I am shocked and extemely surprised by the actions of the school. I fail to see what the teacher in question has been suspended for exactly.
If I was the Headmaster or a parent of a child at the school, I would be more concerned over the innapropriate behaviour and terrible spelling and grammar from some current pupils in the comments that they have been posting on internet sites. I would also be slightly worried about the effect that these comments and the published comments of some parents from the school will have on people's perception of the school going forward.
I will certainly think twice about sending my own son to a school in which a parent says of the teacher at the centre of the investigation: "It appears her character is possibly not best suited to such a highly regarded school."
Another says: "It is absolutely awful morally. It is dreadful, absolutely dreadful - especially given the type of school she teaches in. It will kill her."
Such snobbery is not an environment that I would want my own son to grow up in.
To the Headmaster of Stockport Grammar School; your handling of the whole situation is hugely misguided and I fear that the damage to the school and the damage to a young teacher's promising career is already done. She did nothing wrong. Shame on you.

I think Stockport Grammar are behaving rather childishly. If anything this woman is a good example to the kids - she is shown in the video getting a condom out. If she can face getting back to the classroom and face the stick she will get for a few days it will all blow over. Give your school some credibility Mr Chicken and get her back in the classroom.
