A teacher who quit the classroom after it emerged she was selling X-rated pictures on OnlyFans is to be hauled before an education watchdog.
Kirsty Buchan, 34, left her role at Bannerman High School in Glasgow when her explicit sideline was revealed.
The physics teacher claimed she only started to post images to make money amid a pay row.
She later claimed to have made £60,000 in just one month by sharing photos of herself on the adult site.
Glasgow City Council launched a probe into Ms Buchan and referred the case to the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).
The mother-of-one is now set to go before a disciplinary panel where she faces three allegations against her.
The GTCS allege that between 2022 and 2023 she set up an OnlyFans page using the moniker ‘Jessica Jackrabbitx’ and used the profile to sell explicit photos and videos.
It is said her bio on her page read, ‘good teacher gone bad*really bad’, and made reference to posting photos ‘every couple of days’.
She is also accused of failing to ensure that her profile could not be accessed by any member of the public including those under 18 without them needing to log in or subscribe to OnlyFans.
Ms Buchan, of Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, is further said to have given a newspaper interview in December 2022 while still employed at the school about her decision to join OnlyFans.
The GTCS claim her actions were ‘lacking in integrity’, failed to take steps to stop her being identified and risked bringing the profession into ‘disrepute’.
It is said her fitness to teach is ‘impaired’ and that she is unfit to teach.
The teacher had previously defended her decision to join OnlyFans.
She said: ‘You can hate me if you want.
‘I don’t like narrow-minded people who make judgments on folk they don’t truly know. I have an everyday woman’s body and don’t mind showing my flaws.
‘This is about standing up for my story and OnlyFans and promoting feeling good about yourself.
‘I’m not looking for the world, just to be able to provide for my son.’
Ms Buchan said in 2022 she joined OnlyFans as she needed the extra money after a drop in her income from the school.
She previously sought a career as an actor, taking on small parts and advertising herself on acting websites.
On the StarNow website, where would-be actors make themselves available for jobs, her profile stated: ‘I am working as a physics teacher and looking for some extra work on weekends and nights.’
She also stated she has done ‘some extra work in a low budget internet series’.
Her profile on the acting site, read: ‘Any job working alongside people or leading a group (especially working with children) is a perfect match for my qualities.’
Pupils posted messages in support of the former science teacher in 2022 in which they called for her to be reinstated.
One pupil was reported by The Mirror as writing on Instagram: ‘Just want to let you know that we are all so grateful for everything you did for each and every one of us individually.
‘You made the school worth going to, and God knows how we’re all going to cope without you? I wish you the best of luck in the future and hopefully don’t forget about us.’
A virtual hearing is set to take place next week.
