Washington, May 13 (Inditop.com) Two school students engaged in oral sex in a US classroom while the other students were watching a film. A probe has been initiated after a parent saw a video of the incident.

School district officials in California’s Oxnard city were investigating reports that two students – the girl from class seven and the boy from class eight – engaged in the sex act and other students watched and took video and photographs of the incident, KTLA.com has reported.

The alleged sex act took place at Haydock Intermediate School March 26.

“A serious allegation has been made that there was a sexual encounter between two students,” Assistant Superintendent Sean Goldman was quoted as saying.

Parents have said that the two students engaged in oral sex in the back of the room even as the rest of the class comprising 25 to 30 students watched a film. They said that a video was made.

Silvia Ramirez, a parent, told KTLA Tuesday that she was shocked when she saw the video of the incident. She claimed that the teacher knew what was going on but did nothing.

The teacher has been sent on leave, pending the outcome of the investigation, said officials. They said they were not sure if the teacher knew what was going on and didn’t report it or just was unaware of what was happening.
