The principal of Gulf Middle School in New Port Richey said he had no idea how the link appeared on the school site.

"Obviously, we're going to investigate this," Principal Stan Trapp said. "I'm hoping that there will be some legal recourse. It's outrageous."

The link was noticed a day after state and local law enforcement began an investigation into how a friend with links to pornography allegedly arrived on the MySpace page of the school's resource officer, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported Friday.

Bonnie Lang, president of the Florida chapter of Kids Come First, an Internet safety organization, said the appearance of pornography links on the school's site was more troubling to her than the resource officer's page, the newspaper reported.

"You can't control what's on somebody else's page," Lang said. "They can control what gets on their page ... The school board's responsibility is to maintain their page."
