When she appeared in hardcore movies and nude photo shoots, Crystal Gunns was all about XXX. But, where they teach the ABC’s in Vineland, the same woman is now known as Louisa Tuck.
Tuck has been a part-time cafeteria and playground aide at D’Ippolito Elementary School in Vineland, N.J. since the start of the school year. But recently, word started to spread that she had a prior career in porn and her videos and photos were still easily found on the Internet.
"That's not right for the little kids. Little kids could go on the Internet and see all that," said Yvette Goldsboro on Friday, outside the school her daughter attends.
School security guards told NBC 10 that Tuck was not there Friday.
No one answered the door at Tuck's Vineland home Friday and neither she nor her attorney returned calls from NBC 10 News seeking comment.
Tuck -- in an interview with The Daily Journal -- defended her ability to work around children, despite what she did before.
“Bill Clinton smoked pot. Does that make him a bad person?” Tuck is quoted as saying in The Daily Journal.
The paper also reported that Tuck said she’s been out of the porn industry for five years.
Although some have said she does not belong in a school, attorneys for the Vineland School District said Friday that the school system has no legal grounds to terminate Tuck, because what she did in the adult entertainment industry is protected under her first amendment rights.
In addition, because her previous work wasn’t illegal, nothing would have shown up on a criminal background check when she was hired by the school.
Some D’Ippolito parents are not concerned about having Tuck at the school.
"I don’t feel like it’s a problem as long as she’s not doing it now and not involving the school -- bringing it to the school,” said Lashawn Rainner.
Marion Rodriguez also spoke in Tuck’s defense.
“I think what she did five years ago is her business,” she said.
