RICHMOND, Texas — A former Lamar Consolidated ISD teacher is under investigation for allegedly shooting sexually explicit videos of herself inside an elementary school classroom.
Lamar CISD said the woman already resigned in February for unspecified reasons. The district said it wasn't aware of the videos until Wednesday.
They're too graphic to show.
“We have shocking video," community activist Candace Matthews said at a news conference.
Matthews and Quanell X say the video shows the ex-teacher stripping inside a classroom.
“And also a second video doing this porn video in the school bathroom, during school hours," Matthews said.
The activists say it happened at Gray Elementary in Richmond.
LCISD said they don't believe any children were present during filming but they're still investigating.
“If she would do this in a classroom, what else will she do?” Quanell X asked.
We're not identifying the teacher since criminal charges have not been filed but an active investigation is now open.
Activists are calling for, among other things, the former teacher’s license to be revoked.
“This woman should never, ever be allowed to be an educator," Quanell X said. "This woman should never be allowed to work with children ever again."
LCISD parent Barbara Villareal was shocked when she stopped to find out what all the commotion was about.
"Are you serious? As a parent of a child who attends Lamar Consolidated, that is unbelievable," Villareal told us. "And I hope this is something that just doesn’t get swept under the rug."
LCISD said it was the teacher's first year with the district.
We reached out to her but have not heard back.

Our officers have opened an investigation and, upon initial review, do not believe that children were present during the filming of the videos.
