The American actor spoke for the first time following accusations of sexual misconduct from four students.
One of the alleged victims claimed that he asked all of the actresses to remove their tops while they were filming.
The ‘Spider-Man’ star initially denied the allegations before reaching a $ 2.2 million financial deal with two of his accusers.
The American actor explained that he found that sleeping with students was a “cool” idea but that it was “agreed”.
James has said he has struggled with a sex addiction for over 20 years, which is why he constantly cheated on his girlfriends.
He explained, “It was such a powerful drug. It stayed with me for 20 years. The worst part was that during this time I was still sober. “
He added: “I admit, I slept well with students. While I was a teacher, I actually slept with students. And I was wrong. As I said before, this is not the reason why I started this school. It has always been agreed to but I never should have done this. “
