Ever wonder what teachers did on their long summer breaks? Well, one middle school teacher in western Pennsylvania stands accused of masturbating on his back deck - in full view of his neighbors.

KDKA in Pittsburgh reports that neighbors allegedly shot videos of 47-year-old Jeffery Blahusch "committing sexual acts on himself on his back deck" in order to provide evidence to police.

Blahusch, a middle school teacher with Franklin Regional School District in Murrysville, Pa., faces four counts each of indecent exposure and open lewdness, according to KDKA, which adds:

Police say they spoke with Blahusch's Allegheny County neighbors who showed them four videos allegedly depicting Blahusch fondling and pleasuring himself on his back deck outside his O'hara Township home.

When Blahusch was interviewed by police about the incidents late last month, they tell KDKA that he placed his head in his hands and began to sweat profusely.

He told officers, "I have ruined our lives and destroyed my family. I am a school teacher and I'm going to lose my job."

Blahusch is a sixth grade science teacher and the head coach of the middle school's softball team.

In a statement, the school district had this to say:

"The Franklin Regional School District was made aware of a situation involving one of its employees. The district stress(es) that this did not involve any Franklin Regional students and did not take place on district property. The district believes it is our obligation to fully cooperate with any investigations."
