Pupils were shocked to find out their maths teacher is a secret porn star.

Scott Sherwood, 50, has starred in numerous X-rated videos produced by American company Colt Studio Group where he worked under the stage name Aaron Cage.

The Australian-born teacher, who lives in Seaford, taught at Peacehaven Community School for around eight years. He was also a mentor and tutor for Year 10 students.

It is understood he has stopped teaching there since the allegations.

A student discovered this news when she stumbled upon a 2010 YouTube video of Mr Sherwood being interviewed by Hustlaball, one of the largest pornography dance parties in Berlin.

The student commented on the page: “That guy is my maths teacher his real name is Scott Sherwood. I’m scared.”

Pictures of the teacher were sent to other pupils, and parents were concerned.

A mother told The Daily Mail pupils were told not to discuss the subject.

She said: “My daughter is in Year 10 and another child found things online and put them on the computer for everyone to see.

“My son is in Year 7 and found out about it in the lunch hall while all the children were talking about it.”

The six-foot Australian began his pornography career eight years ago. He flew out to the US to shoot videos with Colt Studio Group and was starred in movies such as ‘Gruff Stuff’, which he posed for the DVD front cover topless in a hay field. He also starred in ‘Manpower’, ‘Bear’ and ‘Man Tricks’ and ‘Sun Stroked’ .

Mr Sherwood was also this year’s ‘Mr January’ of the studio’s calendar, “Colt Daddies”.

The teacher has lived in the UK for more than 20 years. In an interview with Hustlaball, he said working for Colt has been his ambition.

He said: “Life at the Colt is fantastic. I really enjoy the studio, really professional and operational. And great guys, so it’s a dream come true.

“To become a Colt model is a dream come true. I’ve worked on my body for years and it’s just great that I get to have a reward like that.”

According to The Daily Mail he said in another video clip how his mother would react to his career choice.

He said: “I think she’d be shocked and, for her generation, understandably.”

The school has declined to comment.
