SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- The assistant principal of a school in Springfield, Ohio, is being investigated for allegedly writing and selling erotic poetry online, officials said.

South High School Assistant Principal Karl Perkins, 33, was placed on administrative leave after school officials learned a student downloaded erotic poetry allegedly written by Perkins under a pen name, Antonio Love, the Dayton (Ohio) Daily News reported Tuesday.

The student reportedly downloaded the book of poetry from Perkins' Web site, www.antoniolove.com, which has since been shut down.

Springfield education officials expect to have completed an investigation into the incident by the end of the week, Board of Education President Donna Picklesimer said.

The book, "Love Songs and Sex Versus Vol. 1," contains poetry about performing sexual acts on a woman, the report said.
