"She has not done anything wrong," Vineland school spokesman John Sbrana said Friday. "She has not committed any crime. She's entitled to her privacy like anyone else. There is no action against her."

Tuck could not be reached for comment. The Score Group, the Miami-based publisher of Score, declined comment.

A Sept. 28 blog post credited to Gunns on a Score Web site denied that she had retired from porn.

"Okay, guys, I'd like to start by dispelling a big rumor that's been going around," the post says. "I've heard that people are saying I'm retired and that I took out my implants. Not so fast! Some of what is being said is not true. Yes, it is true that I will not be going on the road anymore to feature. Sorry, guys, but being on the road for eight years has taken a toll on me. I have been having a lot of back problems and my ankles are starting to give."

The post continues to say she "will still be shooting pictorials for SCORE and doing more videos."

The Press interviewed five parents in D'Ippolito's parking lot before a school security guard told a reporter and photographer to leave, saying the lot was "private property." None of the parents complained about Tuck's pornography career when asked about it, though they knew nothing about it until Friday and details were still emerging when they were interviewed.

"She was a porn star?" said Natasha Colon, 25, as she waited to pick up her child. "Good for her!"

Colon said she would not judge because she believes people can change.

"As long as the children don't have access to what she does, then I don't have a problem with it," Colon said.

Karen Stratoti, who arrived at the school to pick up her two children, agreed.

"I have absolutely no concern about it. None at all," Stratoti said.

"It's just a lifestyle," Stratoti added. "It's maybe not everyone's lifestyle, but it's her right."

School employees don't appear to have known of Tuck's alter ego when they hired her for the part-time job in June. Just a few weeks earlier, Tuck had been named Score model of the year, according to an April 9 press release from the Score Group.

Sbrana was under the impression Tuck had not worked in pornography for several years and was surprised when told she was Score's 2008 model of the year. He said school officials learned of her pornography career from parents.

"This isn't the kind of information that you come across accidentally," Sbrana said. "You'd have to go quite out of your way to find out."

Once the information was out, others simply had to go to the Internet to learn about Crystal Gunns.

Two television news crews set up across the street from the school Friday, and two Vineland police cars sat parked outside the school with their emergency lights flashing silently.

Crossing guard Steelman Polhamus, 81, said he was taken aback by the heightened security.

"Everything's special today," Polhamus said as he directed traffic on Valley Avenue. "I'm normally out here by myself."

Polhamus didn't know what prompted the heightened security until a reporter told him.

"As long as it's behind her and she's not putting that in front of her, that's fine," Polhamus said.
