Sam Handley (pictured), a straight hunky Physical Education teacher in England was suspended yesterday after pupils reportedly discovered pictures of him posing naked on a gay porn website (NSFW pics here).
Uk Pink News reports:
Sam Handley, 25, is a teacher at the boys-only Harvey Grammar School, in Folkestone. According to the Sun, he was unaware that the link to the porn website had spread around the school via Facebook and mobile phones and turned up for lessons as usual, before being sent home by the deputy headteacher.
The images showed Handley fully naked with an erection, while a profile described him as "straight . . . but not shy about showing off his body". When questioned about the images, Handley told the newspaper they were not pornographic.
A school spokeswoman said: "The principal yesterday suspended a member of staff following certain allegations and an investigation is under way. It would not be appropriate to make any further comment at this time."
The UK Sun reports:
They show hockey-loving Mr Handley starkers while posing under the pseudonym "Mike". In one snap he reclines naked on a bed with his legs apart. In another he titillates men who flock to the site - which also features hardcore gay porn - by grabbing his manhood through his boxer shorts
One pupil said: "I got sent the link on my Facebook site. As soon as I opened it my jaw hit the ground. Within an hour everyone was looking at it on their phones and computers." A drooling profile describes the teacher as "straight" but "not shy about showing off his body." It adds: "Mike is new to modelling and works as a PT (physical trainer)."
After being sent home yesterday, Mr Handley - still in his PE teacher's tracksuit bottoms - insisted: "I didn't pose for anything pornographic." When the snap of him fondling himself through his boxers was described to him, he declared: "I wouldn't say that - I was just holding it."
UPDATE (October 30, 2009)
Teacher, Sam Handley, resigns over gay porn photo shoot
In a statement, the school said it had accepted his resignation "following recent media interest" into matters concerning him. It added: "The school fully accepts Mr Handley’s assurances that the events in question took place prior to him being offered and taking up employment at the school, and that he has not engaged in anything similar whilst employed at the school."
