A Texas mother has been fired from her role as a school sex educator after being exposed as a former prostitute – and reportedly still working as an escort.

Ashley Ketcherside, 38, of Godley, near Dallas, has been removed from her position at Godley ISD due to two prostitution convictions in 2012 and 2016.

Known as Lola Brea to her current clients, the teacher now appears to be working as a legal escort with an active website. Escort work — where clients pay for companionship — is allowed under Texas law, while prostitution — selling sex — is not.

Ketcherside, whose maiden name is Ashley Villalobos, was exposed to her employers after parents raised concerns about multiple companies she said she owned but did not elaborate on what they were.

While there is no suggestion that Ketcherside’s current work was illegal or that she posed a threat to children, she served on the School Health Advisory Council, which recommends health education protocols to school boards.

After receiving complaints from parents, Lowe told Godley ISD School Board trustee Kayla Lain about Ketcherside’s history of prostitution. Lain said she was shocked.

‘We had no idea what was going on in her personal life. She was always very friendly and personable,” Lain told Fox.

But Lowe’s tip was confirmed when Lain looked up the employee on LexisNexis and discovered that one of her email addresses matched the escort contact for “Lola Brea.”

“I googled her email address and that’s how I was able to find the escort services,” Lain said.

Lola Brea’s images are on several public websites and many are too racy to include in reports.

The school district said it does background checks on all its employees, but that they were not aware of Ketcherside’s history.

“The district would obviously not knowingly allow anyone to work or volunteer in a staff position with certain criminal convictions in the background,” the district told Fox.

Lowe highlighted how Ketcherside’s history could have slipped through the net because prostitution convictions are classified as “felonies” under Texas law.

“I think this is something that the state needs to look at in terms of how they screen people participating in schools,” she said.

Ketcherside appears in a Godley ISD YouTube video from SHAC’s first meeting of the school year in October. She is also listed as a committee member in the minutes of the meetings.

Members must be appointed by the school board, according to a district spokesperson. They added that Ketcherside entered the district this year.

She also volunteered with the Family and Community Engagement Committee, the Parent Teacher Organization and the Godley Athletic Booster Club, while leading a local cheerleading group.
