Gay porn student to transfer
Gay porn student to transfer

(Grove City, Pennsylvania) A student at a small Christian college in Western Pennsylvania said Tuesday that he has lost his appeal to overturn his suspension for appearing in online gay pornography.

John Gechter, 22, a molecular biology senior, is suspended from Grove City College, about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh, for one year.

Gechter said he now intends to transfer to another school to complete the number of credits he needs to graduate. He said he hopes to use the credits to return to Grove City College and graduate next year.

A spokesperson for the college would confirm only that Gechter has withdrawn.

He has not indicated where he intends to complete his studies and says he is still considering a lawsuit against the college.

Gechter earlier this week said he appeared in the online porn because he needed the money to pay his tuition and that he was suspended because of “my occupation. I was not doing anything illegal.”

3. Good question.
Though I would hate to think that other kid was suspended for being gay and watching gay porn, it's hard to have sympathy for someone who got this guy kicked out of school. :(

4. Why would he want to return to Grove City College?

Or is saying that part of keeping his lawsuit option open?

5. Questions
1. Will the school refund his tuition since he isn't getting credit for the courses he took?

2. Where in the student handbook does it say that a student cannot work off-campus?

3. Would he have been kicked out if he had done straight porn?

4. Why was the other student at this "Christian college" looking at gay porn?

5. Why was computer network system at this "Christian college" allowing access to gay porn? (It can be filtered very easily).

6. Is Gechter's mom still starving herself (http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=138244)?
