Spanish teacher at prestigious New York secondary school is caught sucking topless man's nipple and gyrating in 'inappropriate sexual act' during Zoom class
Stunned students watched in horror as a Spanish teacher at a high-performing New York City school reportedly sucked the nipples of a topless man during a Zoom lesson.
Amanda K. Fletcher, 37, allegedly performed the 'inappropriate sexual act' in front of students at the Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science, and Engineering during a class on September 30 last year.
The New York Post reported that Fletcher 'appeared to suck the nipple of an unidentified topless male' while 'gyrating' or 'rocking back and forth'.
Students had earlier seen her the man standing behind Fletcher as she ate spaghetti during the live Zoom class, the Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools found.

They later shared videos of the incident on Snapchat and other social media sites, investigators discovered.
Despite offering no explanation for the incident, Fletcher remains on the payroll at the prestigious school in Morningside Heights, where she made $105,588 last year.
'This behavior is absolutely unacceptable,' the city's Department of Education spokeswoman Danielle Filson told the NY Post.
About 12 minutes before the class finished, Fletcher began getting amorous with her shirtless companion.
After fixing her lips onto his naked torso, and rocking back and forth several times, she resumed teaching and 'discussing a worksheet', one student told the investigators.
It's unclear how she ended up on camera in a compromising position, but it appears she may not have realized her camera was still on at the time.
The X-rated Zoom class last September took place just two weeks after New York city resumed its 2020-21 school year.
After completing its investigation last October, the Department of Education 'reassigned' Fletcher.
Filson told the NY Post it will pursue disciplinary action against her.
According to her Linkedin profile, Fletcher studied at DePaux University, a private college in Indiana, and has been teaching with the New York City Department of Education for 13 years.
The secondary school ranks 203rd nationally among secondary schools, and 24th in New York.

Last month, a California teacher who dared parents to 'come at me' if they had a problem with the way she was running her virtual lessons, has been suspended.
Alissa Piro, a 39-year-old teacher at San Marcos High School, was captured ranting at students in a video that was later posted to a private Facebook group, and shared on Twitter by an activist group calling for the full reopening of California schools.
Piro was complaining about a plan to go back to in-person learning that has been driven by parents' suing school boards across the state. She suggested the parents didn't know what they were talking about.

A few weeks later, a Catholic school teacher in Colombia was left red-faced after forgetting to turn off a Zoom call with his class of teenage students before snuggling up to his wife's breasts.
Ruben Dario Parras didn't realize he was being filmed as he lifted up his wife's blouse.
The physics tutor then appeared to kiss her left breast as the moment was broadcast to everyone on the call.
And last week, an Alaskan teacher was placed on leave after telling students that George Floyd would still be alive if he had complied with police and not to dress as 'thugs' if they do not want to be targeted by cops.
In a 15-minute video a parent posted to YouTube, a teacher who is referred to as 'Ms. Gardner' can be seen talking to her students about police killing black people, and telling them that if they complied with police, they would be less likely to get shot.
'If George Floyd had at the beginning when they got him out of the car and went to put him in the police car, if he had just sidled into the car and slid in there and let them put his legs in, he would be alive today,' the teacher at Lathrop High School in Fairbanks said.
