The Lodi Unified School District in California is permitting a high school newspaper to publish a profile of an 18-year-old student who works in the porn industry.
A California high school student newspaper has published a feature story about a local 18-year-old’s fledgling career in the porn industry after winning a free speech battle against a group of district officials its advisor says “have lost their minds.”
The profile of Caitlin Fink – a senior at Bear Creek High School in Stockton – ran in The Bruin Voice Friday following a weeks-long dispute between the Lodi Unified School District and the student editors and longtime advisor of the newspaper, English teacher Kathi Duffel. The Bay Area district’s superintendent reportedly wrote a letter to Duffel in mid-April threatening that she could be fired unless she turns over a copy of the article for review by administrators, prior to its publishing.
“This is a whole new level of district administrators who have lost their minds, quite frankly,” The Bruin Voice – whose motto is “The Voice Shall not be silenced” – quoted Duffel as saying this week.
The article, titled “Risky business: starting a career in the adult entertainment industry” , details how Fink has made a “substantial amount of money” selling erotic photographs of herself on smartphone messaging apps and is aspiring to become a stripper. It also says she was scheduled to shoot her first professional porn scene in March, but the company that hired her postponed the production after seeing that she had body acne.

“Throughout their high school years, students are often told to follow their dreams and pursue what they love,” the article states. “Despite encountering obstacles — such as a difficult freshman year and leaving her house — Caitlin Fink, an 18-year-old senior at Bear Creek who recently started a career in adult entertainment, is doing just that.”
However, while managing editor Bailey Kirkeby was doing research for the story, district officials somehow got word and raised concerns about whether its contents would violate California’s education code. They reportedly warned the student newspaper not to publish the story until administrators could take a look.
“The district has received information that [the] interview will focus primarily on her production of adult videos,” Superintendent Cathy Nichols-Washer wrote to Duffel on April 11, according to The Record newspaper in Stockton. “Given this focus, the district is reasonably concerned that the article may contain material prohibited by Education Code section 48907.
“Accordingly, should you fail to provide a copy of the article as directed, you may be subject to discipline, up to, and including dismissal,” the letter added.
Education Code section 48907 states that California’s public school students have the right to freedom of speech and the press, but publishing content that is “obscene, libelous, or slanderous” is prohibited.
“Also prohibited shall be material that so incites pupils as to create a clear and present danger of the commission of unlawful acts on school premises or the violation of lawful school regulations, or the substantial disruption of the orderly operation of the school,” it adds.
School district officials in California tried to get the Bear Creek High School's student newspaper to turn over the contents of the article for a review, before it was published.

In their response to the superintendent, Duffel and the newspaper’s seven student editors, according to The Record, accused officials of mischaracterizing the focus and intent of the article.
“It speaks to every 14-year-old freshman who is sitting in class reading the article who has failed three classes her freshman year and now has a choice to make — and our hope is that this article will help students think more critically about the choices they do make at this age in their lives,” Duffel reportedly wrote.
They refused to hand over a draft version of the story for review and brought in an attorney who read its contents and determined that there is “no basis for censoring the article,” the newspaper added.
“We hope you and the entire Bear Creek High community enjoy reading it when it comes out on Friday,” the attorney, Matthew Cate, wrote in a message to administrators that was obtained by The Record.
Lodi Unified School District ultimately relented and allowed the article to be published in its intended form.
“The district has determined that it will rely on the promises the journalism teacher’s personal attorney has made on her behalf regarding the content of the article and on that basis will not prevent its publication,” a spokesperson said Thursday, while adding that the district “does not endorse” the story.
“Because we are charged with the education and care of our community’s children, we will always be diligent in our efforts to provide a safe learning environment for all students while complying with our obligations under the law,” their statement added.
As for Fink, in an interview with The Record, she said school officials went overboard and “they shouldn’t have made this into a deep situation, it didn’t have to be like that.
“People think sex work isn’t work but it is work, you’re just taking off your clothes,” she told the newspaper.
“I just hope that people get more educated about adult entertainers — they’re people, too."

Durham, NC (WBTV) - Most jobs college coeds choose to help pay for tuition don't make national headlines, but when Duke University freshman Miriam Weeks' secret was revealed, it caused an uproar.
"I went to my freshman year of college at my dream school and I started this national scandal. Within a four-month span, I was on 'The View' and hugging Whoopie Goldberg," Weeks said during a lengthy interview. "I needed a way to pay for school and my bill was about 50 grand a year! I Googled 'how to be a porn star' and up popped a bunch of different modeling agencies. I applied and I got in."
With that, her adult film star alter ego - Belle Knox - was born. Then 18-years-old, Weeks had found a way to pay for her expensive private university degree.
She tried to keep her off-campus life as a porn star a secret, but once news broke the backlash was almost more than she could take. Her campus critics took to the internet to vent, some even threatening her.
"People said that I deserved to be raped and murdered. I had people threatening to run me over with their cars. Probably the most hurtful thing was there was a suicide countdown for me on one web site, of people making bets on when I'd succumb to all the harassment and kill myself," Weeks said, "The negative voices are the loudest."
Miriam didn't succumb to those voices and instead decided to make a different kind of film. She allowed producers from a video production company to produce a "docu-series." The reaction to that glimpse into her life brought about a new round of voices in support of the now sophomore.
"I think what a lot of people are connecting to is in this economy - everyone has their hustle. We all do what we need to do to make our money and I think that is what a lot of people related to. Most college students graduate $30,000 in debt, working 60 hours a week. I think people respected what I was doing and providing for myself in a legal way," Weeks said of reaction to the docu-series.
In the series, you see both sides of Weeks' life: the college student staying up late working on homework and preparing for tests, and the young adult film star shuffling from conventions to movie shoots on her days off from school.
"I would never say my academics have taken a back seat. I would say my social life has taken a backseat," Weeks said, "I think that to be a college student who isn't on campus every weekend and to be a college student who basically has another life and another world all over the country has been something that has made it harder for me to adjust to going to college."
There are portions of the series that show a vulnerable young lady who has come to grips with the fact that her decision comes with a hefty price.
"There's no turning back," she said with a laugh, "I once was told by a very famous porn star, 'Porn is like getting a tattoo right across your forehead - it will never go away and it will follow you for the rest of your life.' So it's definitely a permanent decision."
When asked if there was anything she would do differently, the 19-year-old said she would have paid more attention to something she was told the first day she shot an adult film when someone told her to "Make sure you're willing to lose someone you love if you're going into the porn industry, because you will."
"I have a lot of my family members who won't talk to me. I've lost probably half of my best friends because of my choice to do porn, because of this stigma associated with my job," Weeks said. "I've lost a lot of people who were really close to me, and I think it's something anyone who is thinking about getting into this industry should keep in mind."
For now, Weeks says she's having a great first semester in her sophomore year at Duke University and that her career couldn't be better. She says she's building her brand and, so far, her college bills are paid for she said.
Weeks says she plans to go to law school after college, but when asked if she would still be doing adult movies in five years, she said flatly, "I can't answer that question."

Why did one teenager face 90 years in jail for viewing porn?
Jan. 12, 2007— -- Sixteen-year-old Matthew Bandy was about as normal a teenager as you could find. He actually liked hanging out with his family.
"He was a happy-go-lucky kid," said his mother, Jeannie Bandy. "Very personable, and big-hearted. I sound like a boastful mom, but I guess the biggest thing is that he could always make me laugh."
"We went on vacations and had a lot of fun together," Matthew said. "I just enjoyed the life I was living. But after I was accused, everything changed."
What was Matthew Bandy accused of? Jeannie and Greg Bandy were shocked to discover that their son was charged with possession of child pornography.
One December morning two years ago, Matthew's life took a dramatic turn. In an exclusive interview with "20/20," the Bandy family reveals how the world as they knew it came crumbling down, and how Matthew's life has since changed.
It has been two years since police officers stood at the doorstep of the Bandy home with a search warrant bearing a devastating charge -- possession of child pornography.
"It was 6 a.m. It was still dark…there was this pounding at the door," Jeannie Bandy said. "I was petrified."
Police officers stormed into the house with guns pointed. "The first thing I thought was, someone's trying to break in our house," Matthew said. "And then there [were] police officers with guns pointed at me, telling me to get downstairs."
Greg Bandy was handed the search warrant and informed that the central suspect was Matthew. According to the warrant, nine images of young girls in suggestive poses were found on the Bandy family computer. Yahoo monitors chat rooms for suspicious content and reported that child porn was uploaded from the computer at the Bandys' home address.
"When they asked me have you ever looked up or uploaded or downloaded erotic images of minors, I was just taken aback and…I said, 'No,'" says Matthew.
Nevertheless, Matthew did have an embarrassing confession. He had been sneaking peaks at adult erotic photos on the family computer. "I got the Web site from a bunch of friends at school. [It was] just adult pornography…Playboy-like images."
Difficult to admit, but not illegal -- or so it seemed. Still, it didn't look good for Matt, as police confiscated the computer and left the house that December day. A family was shattered.
"I still remember when they were cleaning up and leaving and of course I was still in my pajamas and my bathrobe and my fuzzy slippers," Jeannie Bandy said. "I said, 'What do we do now? Should I contact a lawyer?' [The police officer] said, 'Well, they are felonies that the state takes very serious.'"
The Bandys would soon find out just how serious the charges against Matthew were. The family hired Ed Novak, a well-respected attorney from a large law firm in downtown Phoenix.
"20/20" correspondent Jim Avila asked Novak what the family was up against.
"We faced 10 years per count, there were nine counts," said Novak. "If Matt was convicted, those sentences would have to be served consecutively. In other words, he would have been sentenced to 90 years in prison. He would have served time until he died."
Greg and Jeannie Bandy knew their son well. They were shocked at the serious charges against him and frightened by the prospect of such a serious sentence.
"He's never done any drugs," Greg said. "He never drank a drop of alcohol. He's never been a problem, never stayed out late and gotten into trouble or anything like that."
Arizona child pornography laws are among the harshest in the country. As soon as Matthew was charged, he was put on virtual house arrest, and an electronic bracelet was attached to his ankle to monitor his movements 24 hours a day.
"It was just terrifying. I didn't know what was going on. I didn't know why it was happening," Matthew recalled.
Matthew was in an awful predicament, and he tried to keep his house arrest a secret. He wore longer pants to hide the ankle bracelet, but he was scared he would be discovered.
"Yes, I was very scared," he said. "If they found out that I was wearing an ankle bracelet all of a sudden they would be wondering, why are you wearing that? And I had no good answer for them."
The shy young boy could not explain how such pictures appeared on his computer hard drive. The stress of the situation got so bad for Matthew that he told his parents the charges hanging over his head made high school impossible.
"He said 'Mom, I'm hurting,'" said Jeannie. "'I can't sleep. I don't want to disappoint anybody, but I just can't go on anymore.'"
Matt's dreams had been destroyed and his mother was crushed. And even though there was no proof that Matthew personally downloaded those nine pictures, it would be difficult to prove his innocence. Novak said that the pictures alone were practically all the evidence the police needed.
"I thought his chances of winning were probably 20 percent," said Novak.
"They didn't care that I denied it," Matthew said. "They just kept on asking me and kept on thinking that I did it. They just had it built into their mind that this kid is guilty."
What is so frightening about Matt's case? It could happen to anyone.
"The computer had accessed a 'Yahoo' account where there was child pornography," Andrew Thomas, Maricopa County district attorney said. "That was the basis for the search warrants issued by a court."
Yet, the evidence submitted by the Phoenix police department did not identify a specific user. Matt's clean reputation, his good grades and protective family could not stand up to the cold fact that child porn was on that computer. The police and the district attorney had the incriminating photos from the Bandys' computer and the prosecutors were determined to send Matt away.
Matthew Bandy found himself outmatched in the national campaign against child pornography -- harsh laws designed to keep track of pedophiles and punish them severely.
"They didn't care that I denied it, they just kept on asking me and kept on thinking that I did it," he said. "They just had it built in their mind that this kid is guilty, and we're going to make sure that he's convicted. No matter what the means are."
The Bandy family contends that Thomas was on a mission and that his desire to convict was so strong that he ignored important evidence -- like the fact that Matthew passed a lie detector test. The fact that the test indicated that Matt was telling the truth wasn't taken into account.
And that's when the Bandy family really began to fight back. They hired two polygraph examiners who confirmed Matthew was telling the truth. Then they ordered two psychiatric evaluations which concluded that Matthew had no perverted tendencies.
ABC's Jim Avila asked Thomas about the results of the lie detectors tests and Matt's psychiatric evaluations.
"Quite frankly, criminal defendants are not famous for being forthcoming with the facts," Thomas explained. "I'm not a big believer in polygraph tests. And certainly, they're not admissible in court. At the end of the day, we certainly felt there was a good faith reason to go forward with the prosecution." (Click here to read excerpts of Jim Avila's interview with Thomas.)
Despite the positive polygraphs and psychiatric exams, the district attorney pressed on. So the Bandys and their attorney tackled the most difficult question on the table. If Matthew didn't put the pictures on the computer, how did they get there?
For that answer, they turned to computer forensic expert Tammi Loehrs.
"If you have an Internet connection, high speed, through, let's say, your cable company, or through the phone company, that computer is always on, and basically you have an open doorway to the outside," Loehrs said. "So the home user has no idea who's coming into their computer."
Loehrs went into the Bandys' computer and what she found could frighten any parent -- more than 200 infected files, so-called backdoors that allowed hackers to access the family computer from remote locations, no where near Matthew's house.
"They could be on your computer and you'd never know it," she said.
Loehrs says she does not believe that Matthew uploaded those images onto his computer "based on everything I know and everything I've seen on that hard drive."
But police still had those pictures, and the harsh child porn laws made going to court risky for Matthew.
"All the jury would know is that there were these ima
