Local Fox News Affiliate Ambushes High School Teacher About Alleged Porn Star Past

video
» 91 comments

A Boston-area Fox affiliate news team, flanked by investigative reporter Mike Beaudet ambushed high school teacher Kevin Hogan over his past adult film career, prompting the school district to put him on leave. FOX 25′s Beaudet tracked down Hogan, and began peppering him with personal questions about his porn filmography. “I want to talk to you about your film career. You starred in some pretty interesting movies!” interrogated Beaudet. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Hogan replied. “You don’t know what I’m talking about?” Beaudet replied incredulously. “Does the school know that you’re a porn star?”

Since the report aired, the video has gone viral on Reddit and a Facebook group asking FOX 25 to fire Beaudet over the sensationalized report has garnered over 1,000 likes.

Beaudet appears to subscribe to the Carl Monday school of journalism, where an over-exuberant investigative reporter sticks a camera in an alleged perpetrator’s face to drum up outrage but actually makes the viewer sympathetic to the subject in question. After reviewing the video, Beaudet seems to have conducted his undercover report in a mean-spirited, smear-campaign fashion to get the teacher fired.

    It seems the media calls anyone even loosely connected to the adult entertainment industry a “porn star.”  Beaudet is a first rate asshole.  It’s a shame Beaudet  is going to get away with ruining this man’s career just to boost his own ego.

    So a guy had sex with another guy while someone else filmed him, and this has what to do with his ability to teach high school students how to write an essay or understand “Macbeth”?

  • Anonymous

    This completely idiotic.  The guy isn’t in the porn industry anymore.  I don’t see how it matters at all as long as he never brings it up to the students.

    That Beaudet fellow is a douche.

    Not surprised at all that libs have no problem with a porno perv teaching our children….I doubt they see a problem with the epidemic of teachers having sex with the kids either!!

    I agree, we should also let Sandusky teach our children once he gets out of prison and is no longer molesting as long as he doesn’t mention his past to anyone!!

     Kevin Hogan never had sex with a child as far as I know. He had sex with another consensual adult. As long as he is a good teacher and is able to teach students his private life  should not be made public to improve  Mike Beaudet career.

    I’d say idiocy is destroying our country. This story has absolutely NOTHING to do with pedophilia. The fact that your mind automatically goes there is suspect though.

  • Anonymous

    “I doubt they see a problem with the epidemic of teachers having sex with the kids either!!”

    Because they defended an apparently good teacher’s right to teach?

    It’s statements like yours that make conservatives sound completely unhinged. Your assumptions make a leap that’s so enormous and so foolish that it immediately invites ridicule.  This guy has done nothing illegal — as the piece admits in the final minute — and by EVERY MEASURE he was RATED HIGHLY as a teacher. In other words, his past career apparently had no impact at all on his ability to teach.

    It takes a pretty sick mind to suggest that someone defending this guy’s constitutional rights to employment is somehow acceptance of sex between kids and adults. Seek help.

  • Anonymous

    Your just reinforcing my original comment that libs like you don’t have a problem with porno pervs teaching our kids!!
    I don’t give a shit if he did anything illegal or not, I want people with morals teaching our kids, not former pron stars.

  • Michael J Keane

    Comparing homosexuals to child rapists is insane, pernicious, and archaic. The modern world and thinking people know that men wanting to have sex with men is completely unrelated to child rape. This is not a matter of opinion; it is a matter of fact. Your statement is pure, uninformed (or misinformed), and unmitigated bigotry.

    People like you (bigots) are harmful to America because whether or not you like it, homosexuals are Americans, too.

    You may think homosexuality is immoral, and I suppose you have that right (though I disagree), but you don’t have the right to equate one immoral act (consensual sex with another adult) to a completely separate immoral act (raping a young child). These actions are separate and distinct, and if you can’t see that, then I feel sorry for you.

  • Anonymous

    And I’ll bet you call yourself a “constitutional conservative,” too. The biggest hypocrites are always the ones who wrap themselves in the constitution but are the first ones to trash it when it conflicts with their own agenda.

    I don’t understand why there’s always a witch hunt for ex-porn stars. Why can a retired porn star not have another career? It’s usually female teachers they do this to. The last story like this was about a former female porn star who became a cheerleading coach. She was only found out because her team won the national championship for cheerleading. Her reward for being an excellent coach was getting fired because of phony outrage by some in the community. Granted, this story is a little different. The fact that he was a gay porn star does make it a little more of an issue I suppose. We don’t want any students to get Sanduskyed. But In general, the demonization of ex-porn stars is dumb.

    Porn is legal. And there is no indication that the teacher did anything with any of the students, or otherwise acted inappropriately. On the other hand, if the teacher did not disclose his past employment on his job application papers he will probably be fired.

    Hey, my retarded friend, care to tell who died and made you Chief Determiner of all things perverted?  Personally, I think you’re a raving idiot, but I am quite content to let you be one, as long as you keep your ignorant perspectives to yourself.

    By the way, you also didn’t answer what is it that makes anal intercourse so perverted.  It’s just one form of sex, and as long as we’re talking about consenting adults, who really cares.

    You might want to check your insecurities at the door before you open your yap.

    Actually it’s more in the other direction: the constitution would be more likely to address who they cannot discriminate against. 

    It can be a slippery slope.  What if the school found a video with a teacher discussion creationism and suspended him/her?  I wonder if you would be angrily posting that the constitution doesn’t say the school is obligated to hire them…

    Nice work – You painted yourself into a logical corner by which you’ll have to make a legal connection between sexual harassment (which is illegal) and adult consensual sex.   See if you can find a way out that relies on law and logic instead of small minded selective morality.

    From your past posts, it’s been made pretty clear that you are angry as hell, and pretty un-educated.  But the raging homophobia is often a reasonable indicator that you might have a few tenancies in the gay direction yourself.   Maybe it’s time for you to watch a few episodes of Glee, download Grindr and find yourself some relief from all that pent up rage and self loathing.

    At least we know that adult performers like to be sexual with adults. 

    I’d rather a former performer teach kids than a current Catholic priest, to be honest.

    Here’s the deal: The Right Wing demands that adult entertainment be made illegal and its employees get “real” jobs… and when anyone even loosely affiliated with adult entertainment leaves the industry and does get a “real” job… this shit happens.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Theresa-Darklady-Reed/581698361 Theresa ‘Darklady’ Reed

    How on earth is an adult entertainment performer who works with other adults in any way like a child molester? 

    It’s not.

    Betcha didn’t know that straight anal sex DVDs are among the most popular. Being a “fudgepacker” as you so elegantly call people who enjoy this kind of activity, is not restricted to gay men. 

    Further, being gay and molesting boys have nothing in common except for the lack of an X chromosome in the discussion. Desiring or sexualizing minor children has nothing to do with desiring or sexualizing adults and is an entirely different matter. 

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Theresa-Darklady-Reed/581698361 Theresa ‘Darklady’ Reed

    So… when a man rapes a woman, is that ok in your opinion? I mean, men are supposed to have sex with women, right?

    And when a man rapes a minor girl, that’s all right, too? After all, it’s not like it’s homosexual and therefore unnatural, right?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Theresa-Darklady-Reed/581698361 Theresa ‘Darklady’ Reed

    It’s “you’re.”

    I wouldn’t correct your spelling/grammar except that you’ve decided to attack a man you’ve never met because he chooses to teach high school… an institution that you appear to have either neglected to attend or didn’t pay much attention to while you were there. 

    I wonder what you think of Newt Gingrich. He dumped two wives who were ill (cancer and MS) after cheating on them and wants to be the president of the United States.

    Oh… and that first wife of Newt’s? She’d been a teacher of his in high school.

    I notice you had no arguments for my statements but rather just debasing comments for the messenger….just as you did with my other posts.
    As far as your “claim” that I am uneducated (no hyphen needed, “genius” )….You are very perceptive….if an education  requires being indoctrinated by queer liberal, self proclaimed “professors”such as you have been.
    The education I received is far better than the one you got…..but then, so is the education a 6th grade drop out got before the liberal scum took over the schools.
    BTW….Your definition of “homophobia” is wrong….I have no fear………only disgust
    That “phobia” card has expired anyway…..Try the racist one if you haven’t used it up also.

    “Incompetent one.”  You are pretty dense, but you shouldn’t be quite so self-critical.  Sure, you have no idea what you’re talking about, and no idea what the word “perversion” means, but because you aren’t  mature enough person to understand that not everyone is as underdeveloped mentally as you are, is no reason to attack yourself.

    Step out of your parent’s basement every once in awhile, and see the world as it is, as opposed to the anal (pardon the pun), boorish place that you would like it to be.

    I wonder if there are any commenters here who are associated with law enforcement.  I ask because I suspect that the porn industry is not just another industry like widget manufacturers or widget wholesalers/retailers.

    I suspect that the porn industry is generally unsavory and many of its owners and workers engage in far more illicit activity than other industries.  Child pornography is a subset of the porn industry.  How much does it overlap with each other. 

    I wouldn’t want my grandchildren being placed under the supervision and authority of anyone who showed such poor judgment to think that being a porn star is just another career choice or path to a better job.  Period.

    Call me what you will but I just think that some activities disqualify people from certain jobs in the future and that teaching is one that demands a high standard of behavior to be acceptable to have such direct influence and authority over impressionable young people.

    “I’d rather a former performer teach kids than a current Catholic priest, to be honest.”

    That’s a highly misinformed comment to make. The molestation rate in Protestant churches is just as high and sometimes even higher. The have cover ups too but priests are easy to vilify.

    I don’t have any respect for the way higher ups in the Catholic Church handled it but you don’t seem to know that as an institution the Catholic Church doesn’t have a higher rate of molestation than the average American institution.

    The vast vast majority of Catholic priests are good people just like Protestant ministers usually are.

    The same flawed deductive reasoning you are using to conflate homosexuality with pedophilia could also be used to come to the conclusion that you – a low information, low eductaion Red State ultra conservative -  will inevitably clock out some day after your shift at the deep fryer and, with an mixture of garbled Old Testament & Fox News messages ringing in your addled gray matter, steer your ’87 Matador toward the nearest Target and, with your fully automatic gun show loophole AR-15 in hand, start firing randomly to everyone you see near the Lady GaGa section in CDs because they must be evil Sodomites.
