A Florida mom is suing her child’s school district alleging that she was cyberbullied and prohibited from coming onto school premises after school officials were made aware of her OnlyFans account, an online platform that allows users to create and sell adult content.

Thirty-one-year-old Victoria Triece filed her lawsuit against Orange County Public Schools claiming that she suffered cyber harassment and an invasion of privacy after sexually explicit images from her OnlyFans account were circulated around her child’s school via staff members and other employees. Triece alleges that the staff was made aware of her explicit images after a “concerned parent” alerted school officials.

After the images were shared among school staff and employees, Triece says that she was barred from attending school functions when the principal of her child’s school, Sand Lake Elementary, told her that she "could no longer be around children on school grounds."

The lawsuit details that "These instructions came from the Orange County Public School Board," and that the district’s action had harmed "her right to attend functions with her children" on the public school’s property, thereby causing her losses including time spent with her child.

Prior to this conversion with the school principal, Triece was a volunteer with the district’s ADDition program, a volunteer program that allowed parents to help organize classroom parties and assist with their child's classroom in other ways. After working with the school in various volunteering opportunities through the program for over five years, Triece was allegedly dismissed after the images of her circulated among the school staff. The mother was told she could not assist on school grounds but could contribute to the volunteer program virtually.

In her lawsuit, she alleges that she is seeking justice for the "ridicule she has suffered and will suffer because of being banned for no reason other than offending the moral sensitivities of another for what she does privately."

The online platform OnlyFans has grown in popularity over the past couple of years because of its taboo nature and use of everyday individuals who turn to the platform as a way to generate income via adult content.

Users on the website offer a subscription service that other users can sign up for. After signing up for the service, OnlyFans models will share what are often suggestive images of themselves with their paying subscribers.

Triece shared in an interview that she uses the online platform as a way to generate income outside of a traditional nine-to-five job. In doing so, the single mom is able to spend more time with her child, time she would otherwise be denied had she taken on a traditional job.

In a statement through her lawyers, John Zielinski and Mark NeJame, Triece defended her choice of employment by explaining that “Many other parents of children in Orange County Schools are also participants in OnlyFans as well as other adult oriented professions, such as topless dancing, adult-themed acting, online sexting, among others.”

This lawsuit will be the second time Triece is taking legal action against her child’s school district. Her initial lawsuit argued that she was unlawfully removed from the volunteer program. However, a Circuit Judge threw that complaint out, ruling that she “does not have an unequivocal legal right to participate” in the school program.

In her new lawsuit, Triece is taking the stand that her images were circulated to school staff via an anonymous email and that such an invasion of privacy has caused her emotional harm following consistent cyberbullying and vilification from her school community.
