Teacher With Porn Past Began X-Rated Career While Studying To Be An Educator

The teacher whose X-rated past might get her fired from a California middle school began filming explicit videos six years ago while she was studying to be a teacher, according to the porn world veteran who takes credit for discovering her.

Stacie Halas, a 31-year-old science teacher at an Oxnard public school, this week was placed on leave after students reported finding some of her videos during online searches. As TSG previously reported, videos and photos depict Halas, pictured at right, engaging in a wide variety of sex acts.

Most of those shoots were done by Peter Romero, who told TSG that Halas was “one of my favorite models.” Romero, who operates several adult web sites (such as the utterly NSFW petergirls.com and povporn.com), added that he did more than a dozen shoots with Halas, who was working at the time as an emergency medical technician.

Romero said his first shoot with Halas, on December 10, 2005, occurred in his home outside Los Angeles. During that session, Halas was photographed and videotaped for three different web sites, each of which offered different porn specialties. For example, Romero noted, petergirls.com focuses on “solo masturbation,” while povporn.com offers videos shot from the point of view of the cameraman, who is seen having sex with the porn actress. In the “p.o.v.” videos shot that first day, Romero said, he played the role of the lensman.

After he relocated to San Diego in 2006, Romero said that Halas would drive nearly 200 miles south--from her Ventura County home--to his residence for shoots. One video shot there featured Halas trysting with a delivery man for “Big Sausage Pizza.”

Before every session, Halas signed a release form, said Romero, who estimated that she earned a total of about $10,000 for the porn shoots. Romero said that his wife had recruited Halas after spotting photos of her on MySpace.

In a bid to capitalize on publicity surrounding Halas’s removal from the classroom at Richard B. Haydock Intermediate School, Romero has added her naked photos to the front pages of his membership-only web sites.
