The teacher, Forrest Martin, managed to project porn onto his classroom screen for an extended period by plugging his laptop into the class projector and forgetting about it.

According to students, after the teacher plugged the projector into his laptop, he told the class to work on an assignment. While they worked, he started to watch adult videos on his laptop, apparently unaware that they were being shown to the entire class.

"He forgot the projector screen was turned on and he started watching porn and we were all just like sitting there shocked that he was watching this in front of the class," one student said.

The class tried to get the teacher's attention but were unable.

"He was just all into it, I don't even think he was paying attention to us, he was just all in his computer," another student said. "We were making comments like 'Wow, what is he watching?' and that kind of stuff but I think he was too into it to even notice."

The students described the movie as "torture porn," although reports only say that the movie showed people being tied up.

The school put the teacher on administrative leave and sent a letter home to parents telling them about the incident without disclosing the fact that an adult movie was involved. According to the letter, the school has asked the Scottsdale Unified School district for a full investigation.

The school also said they they're looking for a new photography teacher. Martin has since submitted a letter of resignation.
