A Tauranga secondary school teacher has been cleared of accusations she appeared on a sex video.

Francoise Lewis, head of drama at Tauranga Boys' College, was suspended for 10 days after the board of trustees said it had seen a graphic sex video featuring a woman who looked like Ms Lewis.

But the school said it was satisfied after an investigation that the woman on the tape was not Ms Lewis, the Herald on Sunday reported.

Board chairwoman Gilliam Gemming said she accepted the complaint was made in good faith.

(miss lewis was on shortland street, NO JOKES)

'Twas funny that there were rumours going through the school for weeks. I never took drama though so I'm not entirely sure If I know the teacher.

Possibly rumours being started throughout the school after graphics had been sighted by a number of the students. It obviously would come to the attention of the board of trustees after the images had already been circulated through a number of the boys and confiscated by the teachers. It would be only professional for them to ask questions. So Bruce, Chris, Hamish and Bev before you start making assumptions have a think about the fact that there are close to 2000 teenage boys at the school and other possibilities rather than accusing the board of being peverted.

Whoever made the complaint obviously watches sex videos and is therefore pretty suspect themselves. And worse they got it wrong...shameful antics.

Should there be an investigation into why watching porn videos is on the board of trustees agenda?
