I don’t know how old said students are. In high school, they could be anywhere from 14-19. They could look like young kids or like young adults.
I’m somewhat embittered by the fact that I had teachers that were ill-prepared to deal with the age level they were assigned. You’ve got to have some level of experience or knowledge (sophistication ?) of what a given group is capable of. One teacher I had was so incompetent at being able to control her class (this being 6th grade), that on one occasion at the end of the year, I let her know in no uncertain terms she was thoroughly unfit. She knew I was right.
In the case of this guy, it seems a similar problem with students of a level that are beyond his capability to either understand or control. Hence he might be better off teaching a lower grade where the likelihood of such an incident happening is more remote. Naïveté is not a positive trait for a teacher dealing with older students. They need to be able to anticipate and spot bad situations and handle them before they erupt. His naïveté may have, in fact, exacerbated the situation.
My take is that the teacher was truly shocked and dismayed. I would be. It is child porn even if it was done by children. Just because they’re HS students doesn’t mean they’re older. Is she 14? 15? Doesn’t matter. I perceive his reaction as that of a responsible adult that cares about the well-being of his students.

I agree...This science teacher was very shocked...
I don’t want to be too critical of him for being shocked...
He told the administration about two male students who may be responsible...He probably knows who the trouble makers are in the class...But, he did not suspect that they are capable of this kind of stuff...
Agree. I’d be shocked and saddened to see a young girl debase herself by live-streaming that. It’s one thing to be intimate in private, quite another to do a volunteer porn show.
Very sad.
