ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. ā An Orange County Public Schools classroom volunteer is threatening to sue the district over claims that she was banned from campus due to her participation on legal adult websites, a news release from her attorney said.
As WKMG in Orlando reports, Victoria Triece, who has been an ADDitions School Volunteer at Sand Lake Elementary School for the last five years, claims she was told she could not be a volunteer because of her participation on adult-only Internet sites, including OnlyFans and the adult access section of Twitter.

Triece, 30, is the mother of 5- and 10-year-old students who attend Sand Lake Elementary, and has no criminal history, according to NeJame Law, the firm representing her.
āMs. Triece has never appeared on school property in other than normal every day and school appropriate clothing, as contrasted to her private online videos and pictures,ā NeJame Law said in the release.
Legal partners John Zielinski and Mark NeJame are representing Triece, who is threatening to sue Orange County Public School Board for $1 million in damages, as well as her reinstatement as an ADDitions volunteer.
āThe basis for damages include denying her the right to participate in her childrenās lives as she chooses, the choice of denying her chosen livelihood versus seeing her children or being able to volunteer, and the ridicule she has suffered and will suffer as a result of being banned for no reason other than offending the moral sensitivities of another for what she does privately,ā legal officials said.
Triece spoke out about her passion for volunteering in the classroom at a news conference 3 p.m. Thursday.
āWhen I became a mother ... they became my whole life, so I wanted to obviously be involved in every part of their world, whether thatās at school, at home, in just everything,ā Triece said. āSo I knew from when I had kids, Iām going to be the room parent.ā
News 6 reached out to Orange County Public Schools for a comment on the lawsuit and received the following response from representative Michael Ollendorff:
āPer the Office of Legal Services, we do not comment on potential, pending or ongoing litigation,ā the statement said.
While speaking to reporters on Thursday, Triece said her adult career should not affect her participation in her childās education.
āItās nobodyās position to judge what anybody does in their private life,ā Triece said. āIf Iām not hurting anybody and Iām not affecting anybodyās day, then itās somebodyās choice to do something thatās fully legal.ā
Triece said she feels isolated from other parents.
āIt doesnāt define my whole life. Thatās a part of my life, but itās not my life of being a mom or being a parent,ā Triece said.
Triece also reflected back to her childhood, when her mother would help at her school.
āMy mother did it for me and having her there was the best joy growing up, just getting to have a parent see you at school and encourage you to want to be at school,ā Triece said.
