Breaking News Goes Deeper into the Chicago Elementary School Sex Scandal

At a suburban Chicago elementary school, principal Leroy Coleman and teacher Janet Lofton were caught having sex on tape right inside the principal's office. The principal and teacher have now called it quits with each other and their jobs at the school.

The sex scandal broke out after several copies of the sex video were mailed anonymously to students' parents this week, just a few days before school board elections. No one is sure who planted the camera, recorded the sex acts, or mailed the tape out to parents.

After meeting with the superintendent of the district, Coleman and Lofton resigned from their jobs on Thursday. However, the reasons for their quitting were not linked to the sex scandal. Coleman stated that he was quitting for health reasons and Lofton said she was quitting due to the illness of a family member.

Kimberly Grivkis, the mother of a 13-year old and an 11-year old who attend the elementary school, said that she received a DVD in the mail of 2.5 hours of Coleman and Lofton engaging in sexual acts. Grivkis was able to identify Lofton and Coleman on the tape. She was outraged and immediately took the objective and called other parents of the school to a call for action from the school board about the scandal, saying that "It made me sick...It's very graphic. I can't tell you how graphic because I have two children standing right here."

Currently the Cook County Sheriff's Department is investigating, even though they do not know if any crime has been committed, but parents insist there has been.

Lofton and Coleman did not know about the tape. The school board attorney said that somebody had to have planted the camera and also somehow got access to the room. However, the sheriff's investigators searched the office of Thursday and found nothing; no camera, tv, or tapes.

The date on the tapes were from December of 2006 and January of 2007.

The breaking news in this case happened Friday April 13, 2007 when a 3rd employee, teacher aid Anjayla Reed, quit when she heard she was also on the tape hugging and touching Coleman.
