from www.bbc.co.uk – A former teacher turned porn star is to speak at an Oxford Union debate in favour of legalising prostitution.
Johnny Anglais, whose real name is Benedict Garrett, freely admits to being a prostitute.
In 2011 he was reprimanded by the General Teaching Council after his pupils spotted him in an adult film, but was not barred from teaching.
He left the profession and now campaigns for the liberalisation of attitudes towards sex and sexuality.
Mr Garrett said: “We all need to be far more open and honest… not just for our own sense of identity, but for the health and well-being of our young people.”
His team will include Dr Fiona Godlee, editor-in-chief of the British Medical Journal. It also includes brothel owner and founder of Nevada’s Moonlite Bunny Ranch, Dennis Hof.
They will be arguing against Julie Bindel, author and co-founder of Justice for Women, feminist activist Finn Mackay and campaigner Ellie Levenson.
The debate is on Thursday evening.
Back Story, August, 2011: A male teacher who moonlighted as a stripper has been found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct but left free to continue teaching.
A disciplinary committee heard that Benedict Garrett also appeared in porn films and worked as a naked butler, while teaching at a London school.
Mr Garrett, 31, was given a reprimand after the hearing in front of the General Teaching Council (GTC).
The council heard he was working at Beal High School in Ilford at the time.
Mr Garrett was employed as head of personal, social and health education at the school between 1 January 2008 and 16 July 2010.
In June 2010, teachers and students at the school reported finding a trailer for an adult film featuring Mr Garrett.

There was also concern that Mr Garrett communicated with a number of students via text message, email and Facebook.
The school deemed this inappropriate because it fell outside the boundaries of the professional teacher/student relationship.
An investigation was launched by the school into the allegations against Mr Garrett.
Mr Garrett, who uses the pseudonym Johnny Anglais, had admitted working in the adult industry but argued that it did not amount to unacceptable professional conduct since none of his behaviour was illegal.
Derek Johns, chairman of the GTC panel, told Mr Garrett that the committee was content that he would not repeat this behaviour should he resume teaching.
He added: “Therefore, in relation to risk of repetition, the committee considers it is unlikely that you will seek to return to the teaching profession whilst working as a stripper or in pornographic films.”
The reprimand will remain registered for two years.
