<p class="mol-para-with-font">Dawn Giannini who is married to a US Army Lt Col has been arrested and charged with incest after a pupil recognized the teacher performing in a video on a porn website.<br />
The teen who spotted the teacher in the raunchy clip online had been looking at PornHub. The student noticed the youngster partnering the teacher in the clip was a classmate. in fact an underage female family member, it is claimed.<br />
They then alerted the school&#8217;s principal, who called police, which resulted in Giannini&#8217;s arrest on October 18.<br />
Giannini, 49, who is married to Thomas Giannini, a US Army Lieutenant Colonel, was a fourth grade teacher at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School in Palo Alto, in 2015. She had been working for the school district since 2007.<br />

</div>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Before that, she was a special education assistant and substitute for the Redwood City School District.<br />
Redwood City School District Superintendent John Baker sent out an email to parents about Giannini and said while it is believed she did not assault a student, the information is still &#8216;truly heartbreaking.&#8217;<br />
The videos document sexual acts that allegedly spanned a year. Giannini is accused of having a sexual relationship with the underage family member from November 2014 until November 2015.<br />
San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe would not identify how Giannini and the young girl, who was 14 at the time of the crimes, were related.<br />
Giannini is alleged to have recorded some of the sexual interactions, which were then later uploaded onto the PornHub website. &#8211; Prosecutors believe the teen posted the video.</p>

<div>The allegations will have brought shame on the family of four which include the Giannini&#8217;s two teenage children.</div>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Her husband, Thomas, is a high-ranking military officer who has had three overseas deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.<br />
He also has proven leadership experience as a company commander, Battalion Operations Officer and most recently as an Area Office Officer-In-Charge coordinating several Afghanistan Infrastructure Projects in remote locations, while serving in an active combat zone.</p>

She has been fired from her teaching job and taken into custody after she was seen starring alongside a teen girl in a video that was uploaded onto a pornsite<br />
</strong></h6>
<div> His wife now faces two dozen charges including seven counts of lewd act on a child, six counts of oral copulation on a child under 16 years old, six counts of sexual penetration with a foreign object, one count of showing porn to a child and one count of incest.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;We know the victim was sexually active, and there were a lot of videos that were uploaded,&#8217; Wagstaffe said.<br />
&#8216;We know that this occurred in at least two counties. It occurred here in our county, in Redwood City and there was a trip down to Santa Cruz that she took with the victim and there was sexual activity there.&#8217;<br />
It is not believed that Giannini acted inappropriately with any of her students, however the DA is still investigating all aspects of the case.<br />
Giannini has since been fired from the Redwood City School District and will not be able to work at the district ever again.<br />
She appeared in court on Thursday and did not enter a plea, Wagstaffe said. She remains in jail in lieu of $1.75 million bail.<br />
She is expected to return to court on November 5.</p>
