Former Lamar CISD teacher alleges revenge porn by ex-boyfriend, seeks legal action
ROSENBERG, Texas - A former teacher from Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, who wishes to remain anonymous, publicly addressed the issue regarding an explicit personal video of her that was leaked. She acknowledged recording the video, originally intending it only for her then-boyfriend's eyes, but now claims she is a victim of revenge pornography.
"I made poor decisions throughout my relationship, and it’s now come back and haunting me," she said.
In Rosenberg, the former teacher explains her recent ordeals, expressing regret over her decision to create the video, which she believes has led to her current predicament. Disclosing her reasons in an interview with FOX 26, she admitted to acquiescing to her ex-boyfriend's requests but never anticipated her personal content would be made public.

She accused her former partner of deliberately sharing the explicit material with her employer as retaliation after she decided to end the relationship and cease financial support.
She described her ex-boyfriend as manipulative, alleging that he had multiple relationships concurrently and that she, alongside other women, were deceived by him. In light of unemployment, she claimed he resided in a car they had purchased together.
"That was the relationship that me and him had. He was like ‘It would be hot if you did this.' It was all pressuring me to do things and I loved him, I would do anything for him," she said.
Following the leak and the public outcry, including a press conference by activists, the ex-teacher criticized the rapid judgment of the community, including Quanell X and Dr. Candace Matthews. She expressed her disappointment in their stances without fully understanding her context.
"I’m disappointed that, with one story, you decided that you wanted to let a man ruin my life. You don’t know me. You don’t know my story, and I’m so disappointed in individuals who have decided to come after me," she said.
Despite recognizing her mistake, she argues that her actions outside of work should not tarnish her identity or her professional reputation as a teacher.

"No one should ever assume that I did this, because it was meant for one person that defies the person that I am, that that defies the teacher that I am," she said.
Her objective in speaking out is to serve as a caution to young girls and women, urging them not to compromise themselves for a romantic partner.
"Young girls right now are going through a phase where we have got to look a certain way to attract a certain type of man. The thing is you're attracting the wrong type of man," she said.
The woman has since filed a police report in hopes of bringing charges against her ex-partner. She remains suspended from her teaching position at another private school pending further investigation and is determined to clear her name.
