Alabama Professor Fired Over Sex Tape

Alabama A&M University fired a tenured professor after the school discovered sex tapes of him and two students on campus. The school filed court documents in federal court stating that the pornographic videos were found on a school laptop. The recordings allegedly showed twenty year veteran professor Edward Jones performing three sex acts, two of which involved male students. The school says all three instances occurred on the Alabama A&M campus. Jones had been placed on administrative leave from his duties in October due to concerns raised by the Alabama Department of Education. After the sex tapes were found, an intent to terminate Jones' employment was filed back in January. Jones' attorney declined to comment.
