Mother sues Orange County Public Schools over alleged volunteer ban for OnlyFans account
A mother is suing Orange County Public Schools because she said the school board will not let her volunteer. “It’s been extremely difficult. I feel like the one joy in my life, you know, was taken straight from my hands for no actual reason,” Victoria Triece said.Triece used to volunteer at her sons' school, Sand Lake Elementary. But she said in 2021, they banned her because of what she does for work. The 31-year-old is an OnlyFans model and posts sexually explicit images on the subscription site. “The reason that I even started OnlyFans was because I didn’t want a 9 to 5,” Triece said. “I wanted to still be involved. I went through a crazy breakup. I wanted to still go to school with them and be with them 24/7 and be as involved in their lives as I could be without being away from them. They’re everything to me.”On Tuesday, she filed a lawsuit against OCPS after she said the principal told her “she could no longer be around children on school grounds.” The complaint continues on to say that those instructions “came from the Orange County Public School Board.”“I’m not a bad person. I’m doing my job in private,” Triece said.Now, she is suing in hopes of becoming a volunteer again. “It’s kind of like the old days of having a scarlet letter on your head,” said her attorney Mark NeJame. “What she was doing, what she does in her off time, it’s not illegal. But yet, we have a morality police with the Orange County School Board and whatever administrators made this horrific decision.” In the complaint, Triece accuses the school board of invasion of privacy and civil sexual cyberharassment. She said the school board sent her photos to staff, employees and the media without her consent. “Nobody knew about it until the school opted to out her. Until a parent didn’t like what she was doing in her off time and told the school. And then the school recklessly went ahead and distributed these images,” NeJame said.Triece was a volunteer for five years, passed the annual background checks and does not have a criminal record. Her attorney questions what this situation means for other parents. “If they’re involved in multiple sex partners, are they prevented from seeing their children at school? If they work in the adult industry as a topless dancer or as a male dancer, are they prevented from seeing their children at school? Where does this stop?” NeJame said. “If somebody’s a big game hunter which many people think might be immoral, are they prevented from coming into the school because some morality police says what they’re doing doesn’t meet up to their moral standards?”Other top headlines:Florida power companies want to raise electric bills up to 20%Severe weather threat for parts of Central Florida ThursdayThree Orange County sheriff's deputies resign following sex scandal14-year-old, 16-year-old arrested after gun found in bathroom at Central Florida schoolTriece said she is not just filing the lawsuit for herself but for other parents.“I want a change.
