A second teacher at a high school in Missouri was put on leave after administrators discovered her OnlyFans side hustle.

Megan Gaither, 31, said during an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was placed on leave from her English teaching and varsity cheerleading coach position on Oct. 27 after district officials found out about her account on the OnlyFans platform.

    Because the millions of other people (this isn’t a gender thing) aren’t responsible for those minors. It’s also not just finding “naked people on the internet”. Onlyfans’ whole objective is to profit off of parasocial relationships. Models are directly engaging with their customers, and in a situation where a teacher ends up willingly or otherwise selling sex media to their student, obvious problems arise.

      Damn, if the kids are signing up for OnlyFans, maybe their parents are the responsible ones for not monitoring their Internet usage?

        In high school, many of these kids are 18. Plus, you often don’t need to actually sign up in order to see plenty of explicit stuff

        And OF shouldn’t be allowing minors to access content in their site, but things aren’t perfect, and horny teens are going to be horny teens. This isn’t about who’s “responsible”, it’s about having realistic expectations.
