A SEX EDUCATION teacher has been suspended after his bosses discovered he had another job – as a stripper and porn star.
Benedict Garrett, 30, from Hackney, worked at Beal High School in Woodford Bridge Road for three years until he was suspended by department chiefs, although he already resigned from his post when his bosses discovered his other career.
According to reports, Mr Garrett, who goes by the pseudonym Johnny Anglais, was rumbled by pupils after their discovered his website, which he uses to advertise his services as a stripper.
The school and the council have refused to reveal how long Mr Garrett worked at the school and what lessons he taught, although reports say he was head of personal, social and health education (PSHE) – which includes teaching sex education.
A school spokeswoman said: “A member of staff who had already resigned from the school has been suspended pending an investigation.”
Were you taught by Mr Garrett at Beal High School? Are you a parent of a pupil at the school?
