BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Kevin Hogan is an English teacher and crew coach at a top-rated Massachusetts public high school, but he brings some unusual experience to the job: until recently, he was starring in pornographic movies.

Hogan has worked at the Mystic Valley Regional Charter School in Malden since September. In addition to his coaching and teaching duties, he also chairs the high school’s English department.

But he can also be found on the Internet and in adult entertainment stores under his screen name: Hytch Cawke.

His movie credits include “Fetish World” and “Just Gone Gay 8,” and FOX Undercover found his third movie, whose title is not fit to reveal in a family news outlet, in a local adult store. It features him answering an ad to have sex for money.

“Hi, I’m Hytch and I just answered the ad and now I’m here to see what it’s like to be with a guy,” he says to the camera.

But Hogan wasn’t so talkative when FOX Undercover’s camera was on him.

“Wanted to talk to you about your film career. You starred in some pretty interesting movies,” FOX Undercover reporter Mike Beaudet asked him last week.

“I don't know what you're talking about,” Hogan said.

“Does the school know that you're a porn star?” Beaudet asked.

“I don't know what you're talking about,” Hogan said.

“Do your students know that you've been in these movies? Come on. This is you. You know what I'm talking about,” Beaudet said.

“I don't know what you're talking about,” Hogan repeated.

“Do you really think it's appropriate to be working with kids?” Beaudet asked.

“I don't know what you're talking about. Happy Thanksgiving,” Hogan replied.

Now Hogan will have to answer to his school, which placed him on paid leave while they conduct their own investigation.

It’s not the kind of news the school is used to. Just this year, Newsweek magazine named Mystic Valley one of the best high schools in the country and fourth best public high school in Massachusetts.

The school released a statement saying “We value the health and safety of our students,” and that "the school followed our normal hiring practices," which included criminal background checks in Massachusetts and California, where Hogan had been living.

Mystic Valley also said "the references we received were flawless,” and noted he was placed there by the recruiting firm Carney, Sandoe & Associates. Hogan even has a testimonial on the firm's website, where he writes, "It's amazing with your help I was able to find a school that I never thought existed."

Mystic Valley Charter School sent an e-mail to parents and staff today stressing the school’s insistence that any applicant for a position be candid and forthright about disclosing past employment positions.

Parents told FOX Undercover they had some concerns.

“I’m disturbed. I’m surprised,” said Stephanie Saponaro, whose son is coached by Hogan on the crew team. “The kids really love him. He's been a great addition to the team. He's a new coach this year. New head of the English department. This is scary.”

“What is my reaction? Oh my God!” said another parent. “Everyone's innocent until proven guilty. I don't like to judge people.”

FOX Undercover’s Beaudet asked another parent, “Does it bother you to think this guy's doing this?”

“Very much so. Especially since he's teaching our children. Everyday. It does bother me a lot,” the parent replied.

The state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, which granted Hogan an educator’s license, said it would look into the situation. A spokesman for the department added, “We expect teachers to hold a very high moral standard. They are role models for students."

Students at a top-rated Massachusetts public high school are blasting WFXT and investigative reporter Mike Beaudet for confronting a teacher about his apparent porn star past.

In a story that first aired during the Fox O&O’s 6 p.m. newscast on Tuesday, Beaudet confronted Kevin Hogan, an English teacher and crew coach at Mystic Valley Regional Charter School, about his alleged appearances in at least three gay porn videos.

After being ambushed by Beaudet in a parking lot, Hogan told the reporter that he didn’t know what he was talking about (video inside). Mystic Valley has placed Hogan, who chairs the school’s English department, on paid leave as it looks into WFXT’s allegations.

Since the story first aired, Beaudet and WFXT have been heavily criticized by students at the school, who have banded together in support of Hogan.

On Twitter, Beaudet asked Mystic Valley students for their response to his story. Here’s what one student tweeted back…



Another student tweeted at Beaudet: “Hogan is the best thing that has happened to my crew team. Students now have more respect for him due to what you did #thanks”

“It’s not like he was doing anything illegal,” one student tweeted, “he shouldn’t get fired.”

“Reporters are so ****ing annoying,” tweeted another student.

And one young man seemed to sum up the general reaction from the Mystic Valley student body, tweeting…



A petition in support of Hogan, who joined Mystic Valley in August, is now reportedly being circulated at the school.

While a handful of parents Beaudet spoke to for his story voiced concern about a teacher having a pornographic past, an overwhelming majority of viewers believe WFXT went too far.

“I just saw your story on Kevin Hogan and found it to be in very bad taste,” one viewer wrote in a letter to the station, which WFXT commentator Doug VB Goudie read on-air during today’s morning newscast. “If he loses his job, someone at Fox should lose their job or better yet support him going forward. It is lazy and sloppy and has negative consequences for him–it should for you as well.”

Goudie estimated that viewer feedback has been split 80/20, with 80% of viewers “against us.”
I have to say that I'm quite disgusted at what that reporter did. And some of the parents comments are just idiotic in general. Why should you be concerned about having your kids learn from someone who has had sex before(including his sexuality)?

I also want to know how they even came to learn of this and why they actually watched all 3 movies.

So what are your thoughts on this?

Should've stopped reading there. Just more sensationalized propaganda against gays, fornication, and just general bigotry. And for what? To "protect" "family" "values"? They just slandered a man and used fear to make it seem as though he is a dangerous person.

Maybe. I'd be concerned that my student might come across his porno online or something.
He worked under an alias in a small amount of (and seemingly obscure) works. Are you implying that it would've been possible for students to look up their English teacher on a porn site? To find out he was in the films in the first place, they'd have to recognize that he was working under an alias in the first place which would involve indiscriminately coming across the film by chance. There is no feasible way his students would've known about his past without Fox News digging too deep and bringing it up in the first place.

That is stupid.
But as long as he doesn't get fired there can be positives in this whole situation. Look at the support his students are giving him, it would feel good knowing you're a good enough teacher and liked/respected enough to warrant support from your students. It also seems he wasn't comfortable about his past (And it's not an appropriate job to talk about in a classroom) but now the past that he appeared to be hiding is out. As long as the support outways the idiots then it could end up just being a huge weight off his shoulders.

I'll admit that FOX is the reason the students know about it, but any news outlet would report this if they found it out. It makes for a juicy news story. That's how networks make their money. This has nothing to do with hatred of any specific group of people.

I'm sure the students would recognize him in a porno if they saw him. I still don't think this is any reason to fire him, though.

You would be concerned if a student looked up porn? call the every media outlet because this totally isn't natural and must be the work of the devil!

I joke, but seriously there's nothing to be concerned about if someone looks up porn.

The only way to recognize him is to watch one of the three gay porn movies he starred in.

Yay more stupid bigotry and sensationalism from Fox!

And now this man's life is ruined because of it.
Maybe. Normally you'd think that'd happen, but the reaction from students and such is a welcoming contrast to the extremism and demonization we've seen largely from media, business, and political bases.

Good job students at supporting a good teacher. :)

That's true. That alone speaks volumes about what kid of man he truly is. Hopefully the powers that be will see that. But what I'm worried about is the administrative and the bureaucratic side.

Because it's FOX, they focus on the gay part as an issue. But I think any other teacher, gay or straight, would probably in hot water too if it was discovered they were once in a porn flick.

"Fox Undercover breaking this exclusive story..."

Key word. IF they found out. They ACTIVELY used resources in order to find material with which to slander him. Fox Undercover either indiscriminately watched an innumerable amount of gay porno and put two and two together, or they used ties with the industry in order to leak private information about this guy. This isn't "corruption of morals in America" or Jihad Jane. This was just an average Joe who happened to have a somewhat questionable past.

And any other news outlet? Than why haven't "any other news outlet"? All other articles I see on the web right now are about Fox's coverage of the incident.



And what is wrong with working in a porno? Sure, it's questionable work, but is that history really enough of an excuse for one with the qualifications to be denied the ability work in their respective professions? Should we forbid them from moving up the social/economic ladder for that very reason? "Former Porn Star Turned Teacher". That should be a headline that gives hope for our society! Not one that spreads fear, doubt, and hatred.

I kinda agree with Freaky in that I would hope my child, if I had a child that was a student of his, wouldn't run across the porn he starred in. No, they can't just find him by his correct name, but wouldn't it be weird to realize you're watching something that your teacher is in? But even still, it's unlikely.

However, this was blown out of proportion and I feel bad for this guy. What you do in the past shouldn't have to matter anymore if you're past it and aren't doing it anymore and it wasn't necessarily bad to begin with. Well, that doesn't apply to everything of course. But porn, of any kind, isn't harming anyone at all. So it's just...why care? Really?

I remember there being another story quite a while ago of a female teacher starring in a porn flick because a student found it and spread it around the school. She lost her job iirc.

What's with everyone bashing FOX? They're the
most unbiased of the major networks.
Do you know what slander is? For something to be slanderous, it has to be knowingly untrue.

I really don't see how this story makes FOX homophobic. FOX isn't the only network that sensationalizes stories to attract viewers.

And just which major networks are biased?

Oh right. I forgot about that. "Slander" is just the first word that comes to mind when thinking of spoken words with malicious and defamation intent. Apologies for any misunderstanding my misuse of words may have caused. That being said, my misuse of "slander" does not lighten the weight of the actions caused by this "story". Going from hated by students for giving homework to being viewed by adults as being a negative influence to students. I hope Mr. Hogan the best in his life and that this whole thing will be forgotten in his community.

also i can cite several more instances of fox advancing lgbt bigotry but not this thread.

I think it's a little silly to be worried that your child might come across the pornographic past of a teacher. There's no chance of that happening unless your kid is already looking at porn. If you think that a student finding out about a teacher being in porn is going to damage them somehow then you probably would feel that them looking at porn in the first place would be damaging, too, so unless they happen to find their teacher on their very first viewing of porn then the 'damage' is already going to be done by the time they stumble upon their teacher.

If the teacher hasn't done anything illegal (and nothing suggests he did), had good references, and has proven himself to be a good teacher then his personal life is no one's business. Even if he was only a so-so teacher it still wouldn't be anyone's business. I really hope he doesn't have to explain himself to the school because they don't have a right to pry into his personal life.

Uhhh...how did they find this out? Looked at the pasts of random teachers? Looked at the future of random gay porn stars? Some kid stumbled on it and it spread? Some parent stumbled on it and instead of being mature about it and reporting it to the school district, told a news outlet?

However they did it, it's a complete and total invasion of privacy and Fox should be ashamed. Undercover reporting isn't to ruin random Joe Schmoe's life. It is for things that need to be reported undercover and need to be released to the general public. If they were really worried about the teacher? The right response is to privately contact the school district and inform them so they can make their own choice while respecting the teacher.

I like how the emphasis is placed on the sexual orientation.

Okay, really? Why are some people concerned about the students running into their teacher while surfing for porn? Is that really a major concern? As long as the teacher is not promoting or discussing his porn background, then there is no problem. There are many teachers who are alcoholics; perhaps we should put their morality on check? One teacher lied to wife about being sick so that he didn't have to visit her parents, is this guy is bad for our kids? Or what if the teacher is a Muslim teaching my child who is a Christian?

Do you see how morality clauses can get out of hand. The only way to objectively gauge morality is by statute. If the teacher is following the law, then there is no problem.

Here is my two cents about the news:

Liberals think that FOX is more bias than CNN.
Conservatives think that CNN is more bias than FOX.

I think both are bias for different reasons. Fox is known for being biased against gay rights issues. Anyone arguing otherwise, knows that this is true.

I disagree that FOX is based against LGBT issues. FOX was one of the leading networks to humiliate the Westboro loons. It was Hannity, specifically.

I agree that there is no reason to fire him over it. I believe that all background checks, if they are justifiable, should take place before someone is hired for a job. The only justifiable reason afterwards is if they lied, either affirmatively or by omission. If not starring in porn is a requirement, he should have been asked about that before he was hired.

Christ on a crutch, people. What's the big deal? Let me make myself more clear...I would rather my child be spared the awkwardness of realizing "oh my god that's my teacher." I know you weren't aiming your posts at me, but still, I don't find it silly at all that I wouldn't want my child finding out their teacher was a porn star in that way. I mean, damn, excuse me. Don't see the point in blowing that out of proportion, really.
