Nursery teacher SACKED as pupil's mum finds husband buying racy OnlyFans snaps online
Elena Maraga, 29, was outed as a model on the controversial site by a parent who recognised her online - she has now been sacked after a pupil's mum found her husband buying the racy snaps A nursery teacher has been sacked by her school after it came to light she was selling raunchy pictures online - and a pupil's mum found her husband buying the racy snaps. Elena Maraga, 29, was outed as a model on OnlyFans by a parent who recognised her online and then told other parents via a WhatsApp group chat and Facebook Elena was subsequently put on leave from her job, near Treviso in Italy, after the school said that her extra-curricular activities do not align with the religious values of the institution. She said she started the racy account as she only earns around €1,200 (£1,000) a month from her day job - a wage she described as 'unsustainable' by itself. The controversy came to light after the father of one of her pupils allegedly bought photos from her OnlyFans account. But Elena claims the man's wife only found out about her side hustle after he distributed the pictures to a football group, according to A2. She said: "The father of one of my students bought my photos and distributed them to the football group. "Then his wife found out. I like myself, I turned my passion for my body into a way to earn income." She added: "I don't understand what the problem is. Living on 1,200 euros a month is tiring, that's why I opened it." Despite a group of 30 parents signing a petition for her to keep her job, and a trade union also refusing to pass her dismissal, she was officially sacked from her job on Tuesday. She said: "They sent me a letter saying I was fired for inappropriate behaviour because the relationship of trust has been damaged. "I find it 100% unfair." According to ANSA, the nursery said her contract would be terminated "for just cause with immediate effect." The school said her account "contrasts with the Catholic inspiration that guides the educational direction of the school". But Elena has now hit back at the way they handled her dismissal, saying: "They attacked me, saying I was seeking media attention. Taking compromising photos has never compromised my professionalism at work. "The school has never wanted to talk to me, they have always acted with letters and have never wanted dialogue. I am surprised that a Catholic school that preaches morality treats an employee in this way." Now, according to The Telegraph, the Italian education ministry says it intends to draw up a new code of ethics to prevent teachers appearing on adult sites. But Elena told Italian media publication Il Messaggero that she has a degree in Educational Sciences and that she had been working in a Catholic nursery for five years. She said: "I love being a nursery school teacher, it was my vocation since I was a child." She also told how "on one day I get a month's salary". She also added that, although some school parents are against what she does, others fully support her. "I still live with my parents. [Joining OnlyFans] was a test: I posted a few photos and the profile exploded. "I think it was a mother or father of one of my students [who exposed Elena]. They recognised me thanks to my profile photo. The matter became public knowledge on Facebook groups for mothers.... but there are some mothers who want to support me. They want me to continue teaching their children." While Elena, who is also a bodybuilder that has competed and won various competitions, loves being a teacher, she feels it is something she will not go back to. Despite her school experience, Elena has already begun studying for a new role as a personal trainer and says the world of personal training is more open minded.

Catholic nursery school sacks teacher after a parent discovered her OnlyFans account
A Catholic nursery school teacher has been sacked for allegedly damaging a 'relationship of trust' after a parent discovered her racy OnlyFans page. Elena Maraga, 29, became embroiled in scandal last month after her pupil's father allegedly bought photos she had been selling on the content creation site. Maraga claims 'his wife found out' about the images after he 'distributed them to the football group', A2 reports. She was suspended without pay from her job at a nursery school near Treviso, in northern Italy, in mid-March after refusing to delete her account. A group of 30 parents reportedly signed a petition opposing her dismissal and a trade union fought off moves to fire her, but Maraga was officially fired on Tuesday. The school said her contract was terminated 'for just cause with immediate effect', alleging that her OnlyFans profile 'contrasts with the Catholic inspiration that guides the educational direction of the school', according to the ANSA news organisation. But the teacher, who had spent five years of permanent teaching at the institution, has criticised the nursery's decision. 'They sent me a letter saying I was fired for inappropriate behaviour because the relationship of trust has been damaged. I find it 100% unfair,' she said, adding that 'taking compromising photos has never compromised my professionalism at work.' Maraga says she launched her OnlyFans account because her teaching salary of around 1,200 euros (£1,000) a month is 'unsustainable' on its own. 'I like myself, I turned my passion for my body into a way to earn income. I don't understand what the problem is,' she told A2. Maraga's termination had been up in the air, but the school said the decision to sack her was accelerated by her media interviews. The nursery alleges her public statements have 'irreparably damaged the element of trust: we cannot continue the employment relationship'. Maraga has not yet decided if she will fight her firing, but did brand her terminations as an 'injustice'. She claims her former employer 'attacked me, saying I was seeking media attention' and alleged that they 'never wanted to talk to me' about the issue. 'They have always acted with letters and have never wanted dialogue. I am surprised that a Catholic school that preaches morality treats an employee in this way,' she added. Maraga's story had garnered sympathy from some parents, who continue to praise her 'fantastic' work with children - and support her case that her 'external' work does not affect her ability to teach. 'There are some mothers who want to support me. They want me to continue teaching their children,' she told Open last month. A group of 30 parents reportedly signed a petition opposing her dismissal and a trade union fought off moves to fire her, but Maraga was officially fired on Tuesday Maraga has remained adamant that she should be able to continue moonlighting on the OnlyFans and teaching. She said in previous interviews that what she does on OnlyFans 'does no harm to anyone … people should be allowed to do what they like in their private lives'. 'I am not ashamed of what I do,' she added, insisting that she is 'adult and aware' of what she is doing. She shared that her parents 'know about my 'extra work' life and don't agree,' but noted that 'they say that at almost 30 I can make the choices I want'. 'My body is the result of hard work in bodybuilding, I think it is right to enhance it, even economically,' she told local media. Maraga, who says she has a degree in Educational Sciences, started looking at other careers after struggling as a poorly-paid teacher. She told Italian media that teaching is her 'calling' but admitted she earns 'much more on the Internet'. 'I love teaching children, it's my calling,' she told Open in March. 'I opened OnlyFans a month ago, partly for fun, partly out of curiosity, partly to see if you could really earn money. In one day I get a month's salary.' She added that she is 'proud of the physical results I've achieved' and likes to 'show them off'. The education ministry in Italy last month vowed to draw up a new code of ethics that would ban teachers from appearing on websites such as OnlyFans, according to the Telegraph. The adult entertainment industry has seen a boom since the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is now believed millions of people produce content for subscriptions sites such as OnlyFans, Just for Fans and Clips4Sale. 'I think that there was a time prior to the pandemic where the idea that someone might become a porn star was akin to saying that someone might be abducted by aliens,' Mike Stabile, spokesman for the Free Speech Coalition, told the Associated Press in late 2023. 'I think that what the pandemic and the sort of explosion of fan content showed was that a lot of people were open to doing it.' It frequently proves risky, though. A report at the time found 3 in 5 adult entertainment performers have experienced employment discrimination. The report, based on a survey of more than 600 people in the industry, said 64 per cent of adult creators have no other significant source of income, while there were no details on the occupations of those who did.
