Porn Star Sasha Grey Reads to Compton First-Graders, School Denies It

When you think of Sasha Grey, a number of things might come to mind: violent sex. Playing a prostitute for Steven Soderbergh. Going buck naked on "Entourage."

But if you don't immediately conjure up an image of her reading a storybook to a group of first-graders, you will now. TMZ reports that Grey was brought in to Emerson Elementary School in Compton on November 2 as part of the Read Across America program. The site has posted pictures of the actress animatedly entertaining a classroom full of kids, and after leaving the school, Grey tweeted the experience: "Spent the am with Read Across America Compton, reading to the sweetest 1st & 3rd grade students @ Emerson Elementary!," she wrote.

Unfortunately, though, some parents did not find the whole episode quite as touching. A few of them went to the PTA to complain, but rather than own up to having the 2008 recipient of the AVN "Best Oral Sex Scene" award read to the innocents of Compton, officials at Emerson Elementary categorically denied that Grey had been there. "We have several celebrities who read to our students each year," they said in a statement to TMZ. "The actress you have indicated [Sasha] was not present."

  • In my point of view Sasha Grey is one of the best and very sexiest porn star around this world. Her hardcore porn movies are amazing to watch. I really want to fuck her badly in my bedroom.

  • Detex

    She can read to me any day!

  • The most despicable part of this story is that parents actually complained that a woman took time to read to some elementary students. It’s downright pathetic how these sick, self-righteous, “parents” pretend to lay claim to some moral high ground, but yet the disgusting level of intolerance spewing forth from these parents shows their level of morality is FAR BENEATH that of the kind woman they are attempting to slam. Shame on those sick parents!!! It’s not like the woman was holding a banner to the students that read, “PORN IS THE WAY TO GO!” Those sicko parents should be ashamed of themselves!

  • Paul

    I'd like to know how many people actually "realized" who she was...perhaps they own one of her "movies" ?

  • id bet none of those PTA moms have not spent a morning reading to a classroom full of kids.
