Paducah, KY -- A teacher in Kentucky is considering what to do about being fired from her job after officials learned she appeared in an adult movie more than 10 years ago.
Tericka Dye told WKYX in Paducah that she was in the adult entertainment business for only a matter of hours, recognized her mistake, and turned her life around.
Dye said that she's now a Christian and wants the Bible Belt community to practice forgiveness.
Some parents are supporting Dye.
Bonnie Chilcoat took her daughter out of school to attend an impromptu rally for the suspended teacher.
"She's not the person she was 10 years ago," said Chilcoat. "We've all done things that we regret, except hers is on tape."
Dye said she has bipolar disorder and agreed to appear in the 1995 movie because she had no home or income and her disease wasn't being treated.
She said she "absolutely 100 percent regrets doing that."
She said she's trying now to look ahead and not focus on it.
Dye had taught science at Reidland High School for the last two years. She was also a volleyball coach.
But school officials recently learned that Dye participated in the adult film when she was 23.
Schools Superintendent Tim Heller said he decided to fire Dye because her presence in the classroom would be a distraction. Her pay was also suspended for the rest of the school year.
