A teacher from California who is
the wife of a US Army Lt Col has been arrested after a pupil recognized
the teacher as appearing in a video on a porn website.
The student noticed the youngster in the clip as being a classmate and as underage female family member.
The teacher, who is a mother-of-two, Dawn Giannini, 49, from Palo Alto
remains in custody while the investigation continues, the Daily Mail reports.
The teen who spotted the teacher in the raunchy clip online had been looking at PornHub.
They then alerted the school's principal, who called police, which resulted in Giannini's arrest.
Giannini who is married to Thomas, a US Army Lieutenant Colonel, and
one of the most senior positions in the Army, was a fourth grade teacher
at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School in Palo Alto, in 2015.
Before that, she was a special education assistant and substitute for the Redwood City School District.
Redwood City School District
Superintendent John Baker sent out an email to parents about Giannini
and said while it is believed she did not assault a student, the
information is still "truly heartbreaking".
San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe would not identify
how Giannini and the young girl, who was 14 at the time of the crimes,
were related.
Giannini is accused of having a sexual relationship with the underage family member from November 2014 until November 2015.
