John Walsh, former teacher at Oberon High School, regrets making a sexual video online with a former student, Sarah Bradford.

The video was posted to a restricted porn site that earned them $1,500.

Unfortunately, the video was leaked and circulated to social networking websites such as Facebook by some students. The exposed porn video triggered anger and an investigation from the Department of Education.

Many were shocked as he was believed to be a well respected member of the community. John was a highly-regarded high school teacher.

According to an interview, John said he never expected the spread of the sex tape. Internet is indeed not a safe place he told Network Ten's The Project.

After the incident, he was forced to quit his position at the Geelong School. He resigned before the investigation of the scandal ended.

Mr. Walsh, who claimed to like teaching so much, deeply regretted what had happened.

The controversial video showed Mr. Walsh and his blindfolded partner, a 23-year-old Sarah Bradford, having a sexual intercourse.

Mr. Walsh and Ms. Bradford were not on a relationship when she was still a student. Their intimate connection started when she went out the state for about two years. They've been together for 18 months now.

Mr. Walsh said he won't do such a thing again. He never wished to be in that kind of scandal in the future.

The scandal created a huge reaction from teachers and parents.

If ever Mr. Walsh goes back to teaching at Oberon High, he will not be completely accepted. The feeling of discomfort will exist as most staff refused his comeback.

The couple is currently running a natural herb shop, Happy High Herbs, in Geelong.
