The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after two people were filmed having sex while jumping out of a plane over Kern County, Calif.
The video shows Alex Torres, a porn star who works weekends as a skydiving instructor at Skydive Taft, simultaneously skydiving and having sex with Hope Howell, a receptionist at the skydiving school.
Torres posted the video on his blog, and it proved to be a hit among local youth, until a police investigation forced him to take it down.
"I didn't know it until one of the officers came over from the Taft Police Department and informed me this was going around the kids in school and stuff," Dave Chrouch, owner Skydive Taft, told KGET.com.
Parents called cops to complain about their kids sharing the explicit video.
But Torres and Howell are safe from the law at the local level, at least. Lieut. Ed Whiting of the Taft Police Department told KGET that no charges are pending, as everyone in the video was of age. Since nobody complained about witnessing the stunt, there's no reason to charge the thrill-seeking duo with public nudity, he added.
The FAA isn't so sure the stunt was on the up and up, though. Spokesman Ian Gregor said that while having sex on a private plane isn't technically illegal, any activity that distracts the pilot can constitute an FAA violation. Torres and Howell started having sex on the plane in the seat beside the pilot before jumping out in tandem.
Torres has since been sacked from his weekend gig, but Chrouch hasn't decided whether he will fire Howell as well.
"This shouldn't have happened. And it won't ever happen again, that's for sure," he said.
