ORLANDO, Fla. – from www.clickorlando.com – An education commission in Orlando has ruled that a South Florida educator can continue to teach, despite his past as an adult film star.

Miami-Dade teacher Shawn Loftis had 10 minutes to make his case to the Florida Education Practices Commision at a Hampton Inn in Orlando. He was teaching as a substitute teacher at numerous Miami-area schools when the school district began its investigation in January 2012.

“One day I get a phone call from Miami-Dade County Public Schools telling me not to go into work the next day because I was found out to be involved in the adult entertainment business,” Loftis told WFOR-TV.

Loftis told the TV station that he planned to use his experiences from the porn industry to help keep young people on the right path.

Administrators at one of the schools where Loftis taught discovered he had been in the porn industry. Under the alias Collin O’Neal, Loftis was a film star, shooting movies in Miami Beach. After a few years in front of the camera, Loftis started his own adult film company.

The commission said Loftis can now apply to be a full-time teacher, but he will he on probation for two years.
