With a passion for teaching, and looking scholarly in a blue button down shirt with dark rimmed glasses, you'd be hard pressed to imagine Tericka Dye in any naughty scene.
But this demurely dressed teacher is also the star of several X-rated films.
She went by the name Rikki Andersin, and before becoming an educator, she shot a half dozen sex scenes that have been used over and over again in several porn movies.
She says she shot those movies a decade ago when she was a divorced, alcoholic, homeless mother of 2 young boys, desperate for cash. She thought of it as a dark chapter in her life, never to be reopened.
"I didn't go by my real name," Tericka said. "I don't look exactly the same. I thought maybe that door was closed."
But then, and she's not quite sure how, students at Tericka's school near Paducah, Kentucky stumbled upon her porn past. Word spread and Tericka, a 2nd year teacher, was fired. Many students and parents rallied to her defense. Others, like Michael Wood, support her ouster.
"I don't think she can be effective in the class room with this type of knowledge so present with our students and our community," Wood said.
Tericka argues that she has turned her life around by going into therapy and giving up drinking. She got her bachelors degree in teaching before moving on to become a well-respected teacher.
Tericka invites any of her critics to look at her evaluations and her students before making a judgment.
"I didn't do anything wrong," she said. "I didn't do anything criminal as a teacher. What I did was a decade ago and yes, it was immoral, but I'm not that person anymore."
At first the teacher fought to get her job back, but in the end decided to accept a job at a school in a different state.
