> When young Kiwi teacher Rachel Whitwell decided to pose nude
> for Australian Penthouse she wasn't thinking of the fame or the

> She just wanted to annoy her boyfriend.

> But the ploy has backfired badly, with saucy pics of Whitwell
> frolicking in a spa splashed across New Zealand papers, leaving both
> her career and her relationship in tatters.

> This messy scenario can be explained by the fact that her boyfriend is
> New Zealand's notorious porn industry king, Steve Crow, producer and
> distributer of X-rated movies.

> The pair had been dating for nearly two years and planned to marry.
> That was until Whitwell, 27, decided to test the 52-year-old's
> commitment by sending him a series of raunchy anonymous texts and
> Facebook messages.

> "I wanted to prove to everyone who thinks he's a sleaze that they were
> wrong about him," she told New Zealand's Woman's Day.

> The problem was he fell for it, flicking back enthusiastic messages
> and organising a rendezvous.

> A distraught Whitwell confronted him and moved out of the couple's
> Auckland home, and sent her sexy photographs to the Aussie mag as a
> form of payback.

> "Posting my pictures on the web was only meant to annoy Steve, because
> he always says he's not interested in going out with a nude model,"
> the mother-of-one told the magazine.

> "Nothing good has come out of it, because all it's done is leave me
> unsure and bitter."

> Crow - who happily describes himself as a "bald, fat pornographer" -
> admits what he did was "monumentally stupid" but he said he was wholly
> unimpressed with Whitwell's attempt to trick him.

> "I think the whole concept of the 'honey trap' is despicable and I've
> said to (Whitwell): 'If you throw the right bait at any fish, you'll
> catch it'," Crow told the magazine.

> He said their relationship was "probably irreparable" and the damage
> done to Whitwell's career may be the same.

> The New Zealand Teachers Council has taken serious issue with the
> photos, which include two nude and four topless shots.

> They are investigating her foray into nude modelling with a view to
> striking her off the teaching register, a move she claims is "totally
> unnecessary".

> "People will vouch I'm a really good teacher," she told a newspaper
> recently.

> "My ability to teach and have good relationships with students is not
> affected."
