An ex-hooker and stripper has been teaching art in a Bronx elementary school for three years, reports the New York Post.
newyorkpost.com: Calling herself a “former sex worker,” Melissa Petro has not been shy about her past, posting online accounts of her sexcapades in Mexico and London.
“From October 2006 to January 2007, I accepted money in exchange for sexual services I provided to men I met online in what was then called the ‘erotic services’ section of Craigslist.org,” Petro wrote.
There are news reports that Petro is no longer in the classroom and has been reassigned, as school officials look into her background. Petro earns over $60,000 a year as an elementary school teacher with the district.
