A California high school teacher has been fired after being caught in a To Catch A Predator style TikTok, in which he believed he was speaking with a 15-year-old girl.
Kyle Morris, 31, who is married with a child, was recorded in a 20 minute conversation in which he stated he was bored and horny while he believed he was speaking to a teenager named Lia.
Unbeknownst to Morris, he was being recorded by RobTheMaster, who has 1.2 million followers on TikTok and known for catfishing predators to expose them on livestreams.
Rob disguised his voice to sound like a girl as the pair chatted on the phone playing truth or dare.

Rob as Lia told Morris that she had no clothes on and asked the lacrosse teacher if he wanted to see her on camera.
It was then Rob finally revealed his true identity leaving Morris shocked as he stated Good Lord! before quickly hanging up the call.
But it appears the damage had been done with dozens of students who know Morris personally having been able to witness the chat for themselves, which has now been posted in its entirety to YouTube where it has had 64,000 views and a further 523,000 views in cutdown version on TikTok.
An investigation by the Lincoln High School began on Wednesday with parents being alerted to Morris actions before being placed on administrative leave on Thursday.
By Friday the school district confirmed Morris, who taught Media Arts Career and Technical Education as well as girls flag football and boys lacrosse, had been fired.
RobTheMaster explained how he found Morris on a site called Emerald Chat which allows people to anonymously connect.

While Rob posed as 15-year-old Lia, he asked the teacher if he was okay to continue chatting, despite being underage.
Lia then got Morris to play truth or dare in the chat in which she dared him to send a picture.
Morris asked to continue the conversation on Snapchat, known for its disappearing messages while still allowing users to send private message through text, photo or video.
The pair exchanged photos with Rob using a fake picture to keep up his pretense of teenage Lia.
Lia then dared Morris to switch to a video call in order to continue their game.
While Morris could be seen on camera in what appeared to be a high school classroom, Lia remained off-screen as the teacher could be heard asking what she was wearing.
Morris said he was simply hanging out at work after hours before daring the girl to switch on her camera.
Western Placer Unified School District Superintendent Kerry Callahan said the school was working quickly to investigate the situation with law enforcement now involved
The teen advised that she was naked after showering right before the call.
I literally just got out the shower cause I just got home from volleyball practice, I was sweaty so right now Im literally naked. Im not wearing anything, Ill be honest, Lia told Morris.
Morris still urged the teen to turn on her camera after which the TikToker revealed he had been catfishing him all along.
Oh, good lord. Thats gross, Morris said before immediately hanging up the video call.
The video quickly did the rounds at school with parents and students hearing about the encounter.
Western Placer Unified School District Superintendent Kerry Callahan said the school was working quickly to investigate the situation.
We do not condone inappropriate behavior from any adult in our community and when serious concerns arise, we act swiftly, said Callahan.
Our standard protocol is to place the individual on leave, remove them from the school environment, and conduct a thorough investigation in collaboration with law enforcement.
Morris was fired on Friday.
