WATCH: Middle School Teacher Moonlights as Pornstar

The porn star-turned-science teacher who was fired from her job when the school board were alerted to her past profession pleaded for her job back yesterday and admitted she felt 'dirty' and 'shameful'.

Stacie Halas worked at Richard B. Haydock Intermediate School in Oxnard, California, until she was placed on administrative leave earlier this year when students found porn movies online of the 32-year-old, who called herself Tiffany Six.

At a hearing yesterday, she made an emotional plea saying that she realized she had let herself down but felt trapped because she needed the cash at a time when her parents and sisters couldn't even afford groceries.

Oxnard school officials said they never knew Halas had appeared in pornographic videos until April and they should have been told from the outset along with the rest of her employment history.
