Teacher doing $2K-per-night ‘escorting job’ faces layoff due to misconduct after anonymous letter exposes her secret profession.

Ms. Samantha Barguss, the teacher in question, is now 30 years old. 

She has been banned from teaching for at least five years due to a misconduct panel’s findings.

The panel concluded that her secret life as an escort could potentially influence students to consider prostitution as a viable option.

An anonymous letter exposes teacher’s secret job

The controversy began in 2022 when a tip-off alerted school authorities to Ms. Barguss’s double life. 

She was confronted by the school administration about her profile on an escorting website. 

Initially, she firmly denied all allegations when approached in 2023.

However, she admitted to some of the claims the following day and subsequently resigned from her teaching position.

The images, which showed her engaging in sexual activities, were found in both the “movies” and “gallery” sections of the profile.

Furthermore, the panel noted that the gallery section contained multiple images of Ms. Barguss from various angles, wearing revealing clothing.

The teacher blams COVID-19 pandemic for her actions

She chose not to use regular dating sites that require displaying facial pictures. 

However, the panel disputed her claim, pointing out that some photographs and still images clearly showed her face.

The teacher listed prices for sexual activities

In addition to the explicit content on her profile, Ms. Barguss also listed her prices for different services.

The list included $156 for half an hour, $285 for an hour, and $2,000 for an overnight encounter. 

However, she later stated that she did not earn any money from these activities. 

The profile emphasized her popularity and eagerness to satisfy clients, stating that her primary goal was to gratify them in every possible way.

I love my job and I desire nothing more than to gratify you in every way possible,” she wrote.

The panel is concerned that students may follow the teacher’s actions
