OnlyFans Mom's Legal Battle Fails as Court Sides with School District Over Volunteering Ban.
A Florida judge has ruled in favor of a school district that prohibited a mother from volunteering at her children's school after discovering her involvement with the adult website OnlyFans. Victoria Triece, who models for the platform, sued Orange County Public Schools for $1 million in 2023, claiming she was unfairly prevented from volunteering at Sand Lake Elementary School due to her occupation.
The controversy began in 2021 when the school principal, Kathleen Phillips, received an anonymous email from a "concerned parent" containing two explicit images of Triece. The email expressed concern that Triece, who had been volunteering as a "room mother," was sharing pornography online. The message raised fears about the exposure of such content to the children at the school.
"It has come to several parents at Sand Lake Elementary that one of the room mothers that spends time at the school is publicly posting pornography through various sources on the internet. This woman is constantly around our children and her public profiles are well known. This is not the content or subject matter that our children need to be exposed to," the email read.
Following the principal's notification to her superiors, the decision was made to bar Triece from continuing her volunteer work. Feeling wronged, Triece filed a lawsuit, claiming her privacy and due process rights had been violated.
During a press conference after the lawsuit was filed, Triece spoke out about her feelings of humiliation. “Nobody has the right to judge what other people do for a living. I feel judged, and so isolated,” she said, speaking from the office of her attorney, Mark NeJame.
However, on January 29, 2025, Orange County Circuit Judge Brian S. Sandor sided with the school district in a 22-page ruling. Sandor stated that Triece did not have a “substantive due process right” to volunteer at the school, highlighting that there was no district policy granting parents an automatic right to volunteer, nor any provision for appealing a removal decision.
“That policy … does not include any language that confers any right or benefit upon an individual to participate in the program, to remain in the program, or to appeal a removal decision. On these points, the policy is silent,” Sandor wrote.
Additionally, Triece argued in her lawsuit that the explicit images attached to the email were shared within the school district and with media outlets through public records requests. However, Judge Sandor ruled that since the images were considered public records, the disclosure within the district did not violate Triece’s privacy rights.
“Finding that the images are public records that are subject to public disclosure, the Court also finds that on the record presented, Plaintiff cannot prevail on her claim that OCPS invaded her right to privacy by disclosing the images within OCPS, to those OCPS employees who needed the information to respond to public records requests,” Sandor stated.
The judge granted summary judgment in favor of Orange County Public Schools, effectively dismissing all claims against the district.
Attorney Mark NeJame did not provide comment on the ruling when contacted by local CBS affiliate WKMG.
This case highlights the ongoing debate surrounding privacy rights, the boundaries between personal and professional lives, and the challenges of navigating modern online platforms.
