**ROME** – A 29-year-old teacher at a Catholic infant school in Italy has been suspended after a parent discovered she was working as a model on the adult content subscription website OnlyFans. Elena Maraga, who holds a degree in Educational Sciences and has five years of teaching experience, reportedly earns significantly more on OnlyFans than her €1,200 monthly teaching salary.
The controversy erupted when a parent recognized Maraga on the platform and alerted other parents via WhatsApp and Facebook. The school subsequently suspended Maraga, prompting her defense that her private life should not affect her professional duties. She stated she considered OnlyFans a supplemental income source, highlighting the comparatively low teacher’s salary.
Maraga’s actions have sparked a debate in Italy, with the Ministry of Education preparing a new code of ethics for teachers, explicitly prohibiting their appearance on adult websites. The proposed code aims to prevent behavior that could damage the reputation of schools.
Social media reactions have been mixed, with some criticizing the parent who reported Maraga and defending her right to privacy, while others emphasized the ethical responsibilities of teachers as role models. The incident follows a similar case last year involving a YouTuber who abandoned her PhD to pursue OnlyFans. The situation highlights the ongoing tension between personal freedoms and professional expectations for teachers.
