A school teacher in Akron, Ohio, was put on leave after he was caught on camera discussing about having sex with a teen.

According to local reports, the video of the incident, which was filmed in December, showed a man meeting a 15-year-old boy at Walmart after the two exchanged messages about having sex. The video, which was posted on YouTube, was shared on a local Facebook page following which the man was identified as the teacher, whose name was not revealed.

The video was posted twice on YouTube by a group that sets up sex sting operations but had to be removed after the teacher contacted and threatened them.

Meanwhile, after the video went viral, the teacher working at Kenmore-Garfield High School, was placed on administrative leave Wednesday.

Confirming the same, school district spokesman Mark Williamson said, “The district removed the teacher from class Wednesday afternoon and began an immediate investigation upon learning of a video circulating on the internet. The video is cause for concern.”

Summit County Children Services was also informed about the incident which was under investigation.

The incident comes two months after an Ohio teacher, identified as 34-year-old Laura Bucy, was sentenced to two years in prison for having sex with a teen student who she felt “looked and acted” like her ex-husband.
