Georgia school district employee facing child porn charges
CHATTOOGA COUNTY, Ga. — “A man employed by a school district is now facing more than 40 felony charges, including creating and distributing child porn.
The Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office says they arrested Michael Lance Brown, 36, at his home in Cloudland, Georgia.” - WSB TV
“Investigators say Brown was creating, uploading and sending out child porn online. They say he was using a hidden video recorder to get the images.
“The allegations against Brown have sparked outrage and concern throughout the DeKalb County and Chattooga County communities.
As a volleyball coach [at Valley Head High School, in Valley Head Alabama], Brown held a position of trust and influence over students, a role now clouded by serious accusations of exploitation and misconduct.
Investigators allege Brown not only produced, uploaded, and distributed child pornography but also used hidden cameras to record individuals without their knowledge or consent.”
“The DeKalb County School System confirmed Brown’s employment and released a public statement acknowledging the arrest.
In the statement, Superintendent Wayne Lyles and the Board of Education emphasized that the charges do not involve any Valley Head High School students or activities on school grounds.
“Due to the serious nature of the allegations, Mr. Brown has been removed from all duties pending the outcome of the investigation. The safety and privacy of our students remain our top priority. We are cooperating fully with law enforcement and will take all appropriate actions to ensure the protection of our students and staff.”
The district also announced the launch of an internal investigation to determine whether any school policies or protocols were breached.” - Playersbio.com
