Gay Arkansas Teacher Fired After Stolen Sex Video Posted to School’s Website
A gay Arkansas school teacher has been fired after a private sex video he recorded with a male partner was hacked and posted onto his school’s website.
Brian Cody Bray, 29, was informed by a co-worker that the video had been posted on the faculty website of Maumelle Charter High School in Maumelle Arkansas while he was home on sick leave. Bray says he was “mortified” by the news.
The Washington Blade reports:
“Pretty much immediately after that phone call I went to the bathroom and threw up,” Bray told the Washington Blade. “I was just in shock that oh my God, this is something that will impact my career, impact my life and what am I going to do?”
The school’s principal and the executive director of the school district summoned him to a meeting the following week, where he said he attempted to explain that someone hacked into his email account and apparently gained access to his user names and passwords for various accounts, including his account with the online file storage site known as Dropbox.
Among other things, the Dropbox folder contained “a video recording of an intimate encounter between myself and another informed, consenting adult male,” Bray wrote on a website he recently created to explain an incident that he calls a cyber hate crime.
According to screen shots of his Dropbox site, the hacker changed the name of the Dropbox folder in which the video file was stored from “Private” to “FagTeachBray,” a clear sign, Bray says, that the hacker had targeted him because he’s gay.
