Teacher Threatens Student After Allegedly Getting Caught Watching Porn — IN CLASS!
April 19 2016, Published 1:59 p.m. ET
A West Virginia school board is currently investigating a math teacher after he was caught yelling at a student, who claimed to have seen him watching porn on his laptop.
13-year-old Jeffrey Province, a sixth grader at East Bank Middle School, told the school's principal that he saw teacher Thomas Yohn watching an adult video in his math classroom.
That same day, shocking video revealed that Yohn later burst into Province's English class, shouting and threatening the young student.
"Next time you open your big stinking mouth pal I will write you up and send you to the office for coming into my room without permission, is that clear?" footage, captured on another student's cell phone, revealed. "What I watch as an adult is my choice, you as a child will wait in the hall until you're invited into my room, is that clear?"
"I'm not putting up with this and he tried to blackmail me," Yohn continued. "He said 'Oh Mister Yohn,' he said, 'I'm going to get an A this quarter or I'm going to tell that you're watching inappropriate things on TV and I saw it.'"
Province's mother, Carmelene Short, told the Huffington Post that while her son is "no saint" and has run into issues with Yohn in the past, she found it wildly inappropriate for a teacher to yell in front of a full classroom of students.
Short also shared that the school didn't inform her of the incident. Instead, she discovered the video on social media after the fact.
Meanwhile, school principal Mike Wilkinson said that Yohn is "no longer in the building," but would not confirm whether he was officially suspended or not.
Yohn's computer was reportedly seized and though no evidence of porn was found on his device, the investigation is still ongoing.
According to Province, the video featured a man and two women discussing a threesome, but he did not witness sexual activity taking place.
