Kiwi teacher in hot water over naked pics

Rachel Whitwell, girlfriend of pornographer Steve Crow, is featured in six saucy photos, including two totally nude shots and two topless poses, on australianpenthouse.com.au.

The 27-year-old boasts of what she does for a living and that she is from New Zealand in the "New Aussie Babes" section.

"I am a 26-year-old single schoolteacher from New Zealand that would love to get into modelling," Whitwell, who uses the nickname Lexy, is quoted as saying.

"I've written erotic stories for an R-rated magazine and run my own pole-dancing studio."

Teachers council director Peter Lind told Sunday News there would be an investigation.

"What is private and what is public is always a grey area but when they intersect we investigate.
