San Diego HS Teacher Terrance Lee Smith Held On $350K Bond for 2 Year Sex Relationship with Teen Girl

San Diego HS Teacher Terrance Lee Smith Held On $350K Bond for 2 Year Sex Relationship with Teen Girl

This popular California teacher was nominated for recognition as one of the county’s best educators. Unfortunately, he was arrested this week for allegedly having a two-year sexual relationship with an underage female student. The ninth grade English teacher is named as Terrance Lee Smith, 32, of Chula Vista and he was arrested at a Sweetwater Union High School District office on Monday morning. The victim’s mother contacted police last week after learning of the alleged affair.

Allegedly, the affair took place between 2006 and 2008, starting when her daughter was 16-years-old, the San Diego Union-Tribunereported. According to the police, the ninth-grade English teacher and the teen had sex on several occasions on campus after hours, as well as in his house and car.

The Daily Mail reported:

Investigators also have found evidence of other encounters between the two that cannot be prosecuted because of the statue of limitations. Police say the alleged victim never had Smith as her teacher. Smith was booked into San Diego Central Jail on 14 counts of sexual contact with a minor. He is being held on $350,000 bail.

Officials believe that Smith, who has a wife and two children, had sexual relations with at least one other underage student who has not been identified at this time.

Smith, who is well-respected and popular with his students, was one of 42 local educators nominated for a 2012-13 teacher of the year award, but did not win. Most students are shocked at the allegations and can not believe their well beloved teacher is in jail. Smith was a popular teacher wo had many students who adored him. Smith has worked at the Chula Vista high school as a teacher since 2005 and he is currently on paid administrative leave.

Our Take: We can't believe this teacher held a relationship with a teen for two years until now. Where were her parents and why didn't anyone else find out before now? Its a shame that we can't trust the teachers that spend more time with our children during the week than possibly we do. Something has to change.

HIV+ Detroit Teacher Brandon Tomblin Faces 20 Years for Sex Crimes with Male Students

Brandon Tomblin   HIV+ Detroit Teacher Brandon Tomblin Faces 20 Years for Sex Crimes with Male Students

We really hate when people who have made their own mistakes in life, deliberately punish others. We hope this man gets the maximum sentence because he used his body as a lethal weapon. He needs to be out of reach to the general public and in need of some prayer.

The Daily News reported that a former Wayne Memorial HS teacher Brandon Tomblin allegedly had sex with with teenage male students even though he knew he had HIV. In court this week, he apologized to his victims and their families after being sentenced to spend up to 20 years in prison.
Tomblin pleaded guilty to multiple charges including:

1. third-degree and fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct
2. child sexually abusive activity
3. using a computer to commit a crime
4. and distributing sexually explicit material to children

Wayne County prosecutors said the students did not know Tomblin, 27, had HIV.

The Daily News stated:

Though the court heard the teacher did not coerce the three students into the sex, a Michigan law states that teachers cannot have sexual relations with students.

His attorney Robert Mullen pointed out that Tomblin had been a steadily employed teacher who had no criminal history and who pleaded guilty to spare his victims the emotional ordeal of testifying during a trial.

Tomblin tried to state the victims as having wanted sex with him; as if this was a license to infect innocent people without their knowledge. His defense attorney stated Tomblin said:

'He didn't stalk or coerce any of the victims. In the words of one of the victims, they wanted something to happen.'

The three teens, aged 16, 17 and 18, testified during a preliminary examination in June.
One teen said he had sex with Tomblin in the teacher's office. Another said the sexual acts occurred at his sister's house and in a car parked close to the school.

The third teen said he and Tomblin traded explicit photos on their cell phones, but never had sex.
The charges arose after one teen's mother contacted police.

Boy Scout Abuse Lists 1,200 Suspected Child Abusers

Boy Scout Abuse Lists 1,200 Suspected Child Abusers

Forty-five people from Massachusetts are listed in the secret “perversion files” maintained by the Boy Scouts of America that were released last Thursday by an Oregon legal team ­under an order from the Oregon Supreme Court.

The hometowns of Massachusetts residents listed in the Scouts’ ­ineligible volunteer files were spread across the state, from South Boston to Pittsfield. The files contained 44 names and one person listed as ­unknown.

The files listed approximately 1,200 alleged child molesters from across the country who were ­accused of abuse between 1965 and 1985, Clark said on his website. The ­alleged abusers were barred from serving with the Scouts.

Here's one on the list of names that were confirmed through The Globe:

Donn W. Kruger is from Massachusetts.

Boy Scouts 'Perversion Files' were Kept Secret to Protect Children, Really?

 

Boy Scouts 'Perversion Files' were Kept Secret to Protect Children, Really?

Read the report below of how many instances including one in particular were kept secret from the public to allegedly protect children but what it really did was cause mistrust from the parents and others in the organization. The files claim to be a proven record they were 'handling' abuse allegations but why did they keep it quiet from the public? This is a covered cover-up!!

The Eagle Tribune reports:

In early 1977, allegations about an assistant scoutmaster having sex with boys rocked the old St. Joseph’s Church in Haverhill, then home for Boy Scout Troop 27.

Stories grew rampant about the 27-year-old scout leader inviting boys to stay overnight at his home, where indecent exposure and fondling were common. One boy accused the troop leader of performing “an unnatural act” on him.

A father who was on the troop committee consulted with a lawyer and the police for assistance after reporting that his son was a victim of sexual abuse by an adult leader “who should not be allowed to stay in scouting.”

But despite the controversy, police never prosecuted the assistant scoutmaster for the alleged sexual crimes. Neither he nor the Boy Scouts were named as defendants in any lawsuits.

When confronted by the chairman of the troop committee, the man refused to meet with the committee to discuss the allegations, resigned abruptly and moved out of the city within a month.

“It was decided by the Troop Committee, with the support of the parents of the boys that were involved, and the Pastor of the Church that no legal action take place,” the troop committee member wrote in a letter to the national office of the Boy Scouts of America more than a year later.

Though never criminally charged, the former Haverhill scout leader was barred from further participation in scouting. The Boy Scouts denied his application to be a scoutmaster in Rochester, N.Y., four years later because his name had been placed in scouting’s ineligible volunteer files – essentially a confidential blacklist created more than 80 years ago to protect scouts from known or suspected abusers.

Documents about the ex-assistant scoutmaster from Haverhill Troop 27 finally became public last Thursday as part of 14,500 pages of the so-called “perversion files” released by the scouts under an order of the Oregon Supreme Court. He is one of some 1,200 alleged child molesters throughout the nation who were privately banned from scouting for complaints of abuse over a 20-year period from 1965 to 1985.

The files released last week contain details on proven child molesters as well as unsubstantiated allegations.

Why were the files kept secretly anyway?

“The reason the files were kept in the first place were to prevent recidivists from abusing scouts in one location and relocating across the country and rejoining scouting and hurting children again,”report said.

“That (Haverhill case) shows that in at least that instance, the safeguards were successful. They did what they were supposed to do. This individual was flagged and was prohibited from further participation in scouting,” he said.

“The Boy Scouts of America have been fighting pedophilia for years and have been getting better at it. Today, it’s a different world, and the reason is different: we have gotten better over time of isolating these folks and preventing them from continuing their abuse. The standards of today far exceed the standards of 30 or 40 years ago,” he said.

Our take: We still don't understand why they had to hide everything from the public. Did they think they could keep it secret forever? This expose' only shows that the Boys Scouts of America was never, ever safe for children in many instances. We hate to see organizations be revealed as tainted goods. It's truly a shame and a disservice to the scouts, the parents and America!! This, our friends, is worst than the Penn State sex scandal!!

Boys Scout Sex Abuse Covered Up By Who? Answer: Boy Scout Leaders, Police and Politicians!

Boys Scout Sex Abuse Covered Up By Who? Answer: Boy Scout Leaders, Police and Politicians!

Local Boy Scout leaders, police officials, prosecutors and mayors helped hush up numerous child sex abuse allegations against scoutmasters and other volunteers, according to details in a trove of nearly 15,000 pages of so-called “perversion files” compiled by the Scouts from 1959 to the mid-1980s.

Portland, Oregon attorney Kelly Clark released the files on Thursday.

The Associated Press obtained copies of the files weeks in advance and conducted an extensive review of them.

The files document allegations of sex abuse by Scouting volunteers across the country. The Scouts have been collecting the documents since the early 1900s, and continue to do so.

At the news conference, Clark blasted the Boy Scouts for their continuing legal battles to try to keep the full trove of files secret.

“You do not keep secrets hidden about dangers to children,” said Clark, who in 2010 won a landmark lawsuit against the Boy Scouts on behalf of a plaintiff who was molested by an assistant scoutmaster in the 1980s.

We have been fighting this claim for years and it feels good to hear people call it what it is: keeping secrets and endangering children.

Clark’s colleague, Paul Mones, said the files in the Portland case represent “the pain and anguish of thousands of Scouts” who were abused by Scout leaders.

The two attorneys were releasing all 14,500 documents used in the Portland case at their website: kellyclarkattorney.com.

Clark has been in possession of the files since he represented a Portland man who was abused by his assistant scoutmaster in the 1980s. That lawsuit culminated in a jury finding in his client’s favor in 2010. It was a landmark case, and the Scouts were ordered to pay $20 million.

Files on 1,200 suspected abusers were used in evidence in that case. The Scouts launched a legal battle to keep the documents confidential, but the Oregon Supreme Court ruled in June they could be released to the public with the redaction of victims’ names.

Many of the files released Thursday have been written about before, but this is the first time the earliest ones have been put in the public domain.

The files show that on many occasions the files succeeded in keeping pedophiles out of Scouting leadership positions — the reason they were collected in the first place.

But the files also document some troubling patterns.

For example, a number of alleged pedophiles were able to continue in Scouting because of decisions by local Scout leaders and sometimes pressure from community leaders. In multiple cases, judges, pastors, county attorneys and others intervened to keep the name of Scouting out of the courts or off the front page.

Florida Passes New Strict Laws on Reporting Abuse or Pay $1 Million

Florida Passes New Strict Laws on Reporting Abuse or Be Fine $1 Million

Is it too little, too late for this now!! The Penn State scandal helped shape a new Florida sexual abuse reporting law that has been called the toughest in the nation, holding universities and individuals financially and criminally liable for failure to report suspected abuse.

Under the law, which went into effect Oct. 1, colleges and universities that "knowingly and willfully" fail to report known or suspected child abuse or prevent another person from doing so will be slapped with a $1 million fine for each failure.

"We learned is we didn't want to take a chance on [them]," said Ron Book, president of Lauren's Kids, a nonprofit that helped spearhead the legislation.

"Applying Penn State to the old Florida law, would Mike McQueary had to report what he saw?" Book said, referring to the former Penn State assistant coach who witnessed Sandusky raping a boy in the school's showers.

"The answer was he would not have."

Previously, a person who called the state abuse hotline to report a suspected incident involving a child would have been asked to call law enforcement if the suspected predator was not a care taker or parent of the child, Book said.

"What we've learned is it's hard enough to get a victim or observer to call once," he said.
Under the new law, witnesses, like McQueary, or people who suspect abuse, are required to call a centralized hotline run by the Florida Department of Children and Families or face third-degree felony charges and a $5,000 fine.

The Florida Department of Children and Families reported a 25 percent increase in calls since the law went into effect on Oct. 1.

We always wonder why it takes a major case and the abuse of so many victims to make changes in laws? It seems to never matters until it's an embarrassment on America. Absolutely too little to late!

English Teacher Yongda Huang Harris in Custody for Possessing Harmful Items and Child Porn

English Teacher Yongda Huang Harris in Custody for Possessing Harmful Items and Child Porn

English teacher Yongda Huang Harris was arrested last Friday when he arrived on overseas flight to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) wearing what appeared to be a ballistic vest, knee pads and fire-resistant leggings.

A federal court has ordered the man accused of having a smoke grenade and other suspicious objects in his luggage at Los Angeles International Airport remain detained, citing concerns he poses a flight risk and troubling contents found on his personal computer.

Law enforcement sources said, searched his luggage and found a smoke grenade -- a prohibited item on an airplane -- and other items including handcuffs, a hatchet, body bags, billy clubs and a bio-hazard suit.

Harris is charged with transporting a hazardous material --the smoke grenade -- and faces up to five years in prison.

Though having all of these items and the gear he was wearing was suspicious enough, it was what they found on his computer that is even more disturbing.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Melissa Mills told the court that pornography of a disturbing nature was found on Harris' computer, some of it a type of Japanese anime depicting the torture of young children. Other pornography included live action video clips with titles such as "School Girls in Cement."

Harris worked as an English teacher at a Japanese middle school and had regular access to children.

Though investigators have found no criminal history or violent tendencies, they are troubled by his writings about murder, kidnapping, torture and "man trapping" on Harris' laptop. The computer files contained research materials about date rape drugs, Japanese school schedules and remote locations near schools.

Harris' attorney described his client as a loner who was returning to Massachusetts to attend the funeral of his stepfather, who died days before. He also added Harris only carried those items because of thoughts of past abuse in his neighborhood back home.

Traffic Judge Willie F. Singletary Disciplined for Indecent Behavior with Court Worker

Traffic Judge Willie F. Singletary Disciplined for Indecent Behavior with Court Worker

A well known Philadelphia traffic court judge has done some of the unthinkable in regards to destroying his integrity in his appointed position. He's not only being accused of riding his motorcycle on a suspended license along with thousands in unpaid tickets, but he is being accused of even worse now. Traffic Court Judge Willie F. Singletary is accused by a Traffic Court cashier of showing her cellphone photos of his lower parts. The Pennsylvania's Court of Judicial Discipline made clear Tuesday in an opinion excoriating Singletary for "bringing his judicial office into public disrepute."

"We think that the public - even those members of the public who register the lowest scores on the sensitivity index - do not expect their judges to be conducting photo sessions featuring the judicial penis and then to be sending the photos over the electronic airwaves to another person," the court wrote in a 19-page unsigned opinion.

Judicial system investigators began looking at Singletary after the incident became public and he resigned earlier this year.

In court filings, Summers said, Singletary maintained he forgot the photos were still on his smartphone. Philly.com reported that the court disciplining Singletary is adamant he is in the wrong, period:

The Court of Judicial Discipline, however, said it did not believe Singletary forgot about the photos: "Taking photographs of one's erect penis is a 'memorable event.' We also mention that they weren't stored in [Singletary's] phone for nothing - they were stored in his photo for re-viewing. What else? "A judge who intentionally grooms his penis for photography, and then intentionally photographs his penis for the purpose of display to others, had better remember that the photographs are in his phone lest they 'slip out' at some inopportune . . . time under circumstances which are likely to offend another person," the court added.

Here's how the incident occurred which is stated to be on camera. The accuser is considered the 'opinion': The alleged incident is said to have occurred on Dec. 19, 2011 incident between Singletary and the 22-year-old female cashier occurred between 5:19 and 6:43 p.m. Singletary was night judge at the court at Eighth Street and Spring Garden Avenue.

It a was slow evening, and three security cameras - without audio - recorded events as Singletary, sans black robe, entered the cashier station and struck up a conversation with F. Singletary and F are seen looking at photos on each other's phones. At one point, according to the opinion, Singletary tells F he thinks she is a "beautiful young lady" and would like to go out and maybe have an "intimate relationship." "Whatever we do, it has nothing to do with Traffic Court," Singletary reportedly told F. "You're an adult, I'm an adult, it's a private matter." The opinion says Singletary began scrolling through photos on his cellphone. Between a photo of him with a female friend and another of his head were the two penis photos.

  Before his election, Singletary had accumulated $11,500 in traffic violations, and his driver's license was suspended until 2011. He later paid the fines, and his license was restored.

Zumba Scandal: Prostitution Run Inside of Fitness Studio, Instructor Indicted [UPDATE]

Zumba Scandal: Prostitution Run Inside of Fitness Studio, Instructor Indicted  [UPDATE]

A popular Zumba instructor has pleaded not guilty to charges that she ran a brothel from her fitness studio and secretly filmed illicit encounters with clients.

Bangor Daily News reported:

Alexis Wright, 29, appeared in court today charged with 109 counts including prostitution and tax evasion. Miss Wright, of Wells, Maine, is alleged to have taped herself having sex with men who were unaware they were being filmed and kept meticulous books suggesting she made as much as $150,000 from prostitution. Police have issued summonses to Wright’s alleged 150 customers, some of whom are well-known, who visited the brothel at her Pura Vida studio in Kennebunk  

Some clients were expected to be charged next week after police conducted a five-month investigation into the illegal goings-on at the gym. Anonymous tip-offs led police to the scandal occurring after hours at Pura Vida, according to the Bangor Daily News. Mark Strong Sr, a 57-year-old insurance agent and Wright’s alleged business partner, also pleaded not guilty to 59 counts of promoting prostitution, invasion of privacy, and conspiracy at the Portland courthouse.

Here's the details on her indictment:

Wright has been indicted on 106 counts involving alleged prostitution and violation of privacy, as well as 15 tax-related counts. She faces multiple counts of:

• engaging in prostitution, a Class E misdemeanor
• and violation of privacy, a Class D misdemeanor

All of these offenses allegedly occurred between October 2010 and Feb. 13, 2012.

• The tax-related counts include failure to pay taxes and unsworn falsification, Class D misdemeanors. Class D crimes can carry a sentence of up to 364 days in jail and a $2,000 fine.
• Wright also faces two counts of theft by deception of greater than $10,000, a Class B crime, and evasion of income tax, a Class C crime. Some of the tax charges date back to 2008.
• A Class B crime carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. A Class C crime is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Strong’s lawyer, Daniel Lilley, said his client loaned money to Wright in the belief that her Zumba studio was a good business venture.

********************************************************************************

UPDATE on Oct. 15, 2012:  The police announced 21 names of men who were issued summons for engaging in prostitution with a 29-year-old Zumba instructor who's charged with turning her dance studio into a brothel in this seaside community and secretly videotaping her encounters.

The rumors are likely to continue in the weeks ahead as police release the names of other accused johns in police activity reports that are issued every other week listing people charged with offenses ranging from allowing dogs to run at large and marijuana possession to driving under the influence.

Police said more than 150 people are suspected of being clients and many of them were videotaped without their knowledge.

In town, residents heard the list could include lawyers, law enforcement officers and well-known people, heightening their curiosity.

The list of names was delayed Friday by legal action by an attorney representing two of the people accused of being johns. The lawyer, Stephen Schwartz, said releasing the names will ruin people's lives, even if they're acquitted of the misdemeanor charges against them.

Former HS Teacher Tiffany Webb Loses Job From Seductive Photos From 12 Years Ago

Former HS Teacher Tiffany Webb Loses Job From Seductive Photos From 12 Years Ago

Many say she is just too hot and sexy to be teaching and maybe that is why she no longer has her teaching job now.

Reports say Tiffany Webb, who is a highly regarded guidance counselor at Murry Bergtraum HS for Business Careers downtown, was fired after 12 years with the Department of Education. Its all because photos of her in lingerie and bikinis from an early career as a model have still been floating around the Internet. It's kind of hard to imagine photos from before the turn of the century are making there way back into her life.

Tiffany Webb is now 37 and says she posed as a model for lingerie from ages 18 to 20, but stopped modeling several years before she became a city teacher in 1999. Her teaching career has included working in elementary, middle and high schools.

But the photos — virtually all Photoshopped or altered, she says — kept popping up without her permission on sleazy sites such as “Mo Girls Entertainment” and “Showgirlz Exclusive,” even though she demanded their removal.

We can tell the photo above and some online are altered.

Webb disclosed her former career when first hired. Yet she was investigated by the DOE three times — and twice spent a year in the “rubber room” — while officials probed the photos.

Each time, she was cleared to return to work with students.

Though she received good ratings, and was respected at Murry Bergtraum HS, her ex-principal Andrea Lewis claimed that a student showed her photos of Webb.

It was last year on Dec. 23, just days before Webb was to get tenure as an $84,200-a-year guidance counselor, is when she was dismissed for “conduct unbecoming” a DOE employee.

“The inappropriate photos were accessible to impressionable adolescents,” a three-member chancellor’s committee ruled by 2-1. “That behavior has a potentially adverse influence on her ability to counsel students and be regarded as a role model.”

Some former fellow employees state she should not be punished for her actions years ago.
Consequently, Tiffany Webb has changed her name and taken a teaching job in New Jersey but she's not done with the DOE. She is now suing the DOE in Brooklyn Supreme Court, charging:

• wrongful termination
• sex discrimination
• violation of First Amendment rights

She seeks reinstatement, back pay and punitive damages.

“I am a dedicated professional and enjoyed being a guidance counselor,” she told The Post. “I did my job well, and my students and parents thought very highly of me. I would love to return to the DOE and resume the career I have chosen to help and guide students.”

Well, we can understand if its true that the photos are resurfacing without her permission that this would be an issue. If she has left that life behind her and has proven this by her work as an teacher, then she should not be punished. But had she really left that kind of life completely?

Hiphopwired.com reported:

After a quick search on the Interwebs, however, it appears that the counselor was also known as Tiffani Webb and was talking about modeling as recently as 2008. Writing for The Black Urban Times, she did admit that she was finished with modeling work and wanted to serve as a role model for young women who aspired to enter the profession. Webb is also the host of YouTube talk show series "Girl Talk NYC."

Former Assistant Coach Mike McQueary and Whistleblower Sues Penn State $4 Million

Former Assistant Coach Mike McQueary and Whistleblower Sues Penn State $4 Million

If we all remember what happened in the beginning that busted the Jerry Sandusky case wide open but quietly, it would be Penn State's former assistant coach, Mike McQueary. McQueary's concern about what he saw Sandusky doing in the showers with a young boy was heard on deaf ears but it spiraled into why things weren't handled correctly back then.

Mike McQueary is now suing Penn State for $4 million. He's suing over the way he says he was treated in the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse case, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer. The former assistant football coach's whistleblower suit says 'the university fired him for cooperating with authorities and cast doubt on his credibility by publicly supporting two school officials he singled out for a failure to act.'

McQueary has been criticized for not doing more at the time. He is  seeking $4 million to cover the amount he would have made had he remained at the university his entire career.

He says the university has caused him "much distress, anxiety and embarrassment" since Sandusky's November arrest. Meanwhile, Sandusky's sentencing is scheduled to take place next Tuesday.

Brooklyn Assistant Principal Under Investigation For Exchanging 3,000 Texts with Student

Brooklyn Assistant Principal Under Investigation For Exchanging 3,000 Texts with Student

A Brooklyn assistant principal Christian Del Re may lose his job for “inappropriate contact” with a high school student, On Tuesday, investigators found he exchanged an astonishing 2,919 text messages with her over 91 days.

Christian Del Re, 32, has denied any wrongdoing but the assistant principal's copious text messages and after-midnight phone conversations with the 18-year-old student, raised enough red flags to get him suspended from Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences, officials said.

On Sept. 6, he was reassigned to duties with no contact with students but he still collects his $101,056 annual salary as he fights the charges.

“We are moving forward with disciplinary charges against Christian Del Re and will be seeking his termination,” said Education Department spokeswoman Connie Pankratz. “He has been reassigned and is no longer at the school.”

The investigation begin in January when a student came forward to a staffer at school and told them of a possible relationship with a classmate. In fact, other students had witnessed some questionable behavior of Del Re.

Though students claimed they saw Del Re playing with the young woman’s hair and leaving the school’s parking lot with her in his car, both Del Re and the student in question told investigators that their relationship never went beyond texting and talking.

“Del Re said that he never touched” the student, according to Condon’s report.

The report further states:

Investigators examined Del Re’s cell phone and found he had texted the girl 1,442 times between Nov. 2, 2011, and Jan. 31, while the student texted him 1,477 times. It averages out to 1.3 text messages per hour between them for 91 days.

When they weren’t texting, they were on the phone with each other. Numerous phone calls between them occurred after midnight and ranged from 49 to 163 minutes, officials said. On at least two occasions, he called her about 3 a.m.

Del Re, who married his high school sweetheart, Gina, in 2005, claimed he was just helping the student cope with problems. He told investigators she “would talk to him about problems at school, problems with other students and problems with her boyfriend,” according to Condon’s report.

It's apparent Del Re has the backing of many of his students as they support him 100%:

A dozen students interviewed outside the school Tuesday claimed Del Re is being railroaded.
“He’s a good man and he was always very involved with the school and very helpful. He knew how to offer students advice,” said senior Carolina Guarrella.

Guarrella and other students insisted the student who first squealed on Del Re had a beef with the educator’s alleged paramour.

“There could be 3,000 text messages, but it doesn’t mean there was anything sexual,” Guarrella said. “I don’t believe it.”

We are not sure of the exact relationship that has gone on with the student and principal but we do believe there were too many texts exchanged between them.

Bronx Daycare Teacher Joshua Conde Charged on Distributing Child Porn 

A Bronx daycare teacher Joshua Conde was arrested and accused of possessing and distributing child porn. While Conde appeared in court, investigators released details about how they tracked him down. Joshua Conde worked in the Bronx House day care center. The feds infiltrated a child porn site and traced Conde's screen name to an 11th floor apartment in a high-rise in the Soundview section of the Bronx, where he was arrested on Thursday.

According to court papers, Conde told agents, "that he downloads pornographic materials from the internet, and that we would find child pornography on an external hard drive attached to his computer. They depict minors engaging in sexually-explicit conduct."

Conde worked at Bronx House for nearly one year, caring for children ages five through twelve. Officials say he passed a background check. "He was fingerprinted and put through a central registry and cleared. He was clean," the executive director told Eyewitness News.
