Berwyn Teacher Arrested In Child Porn Case

  According to the FBI a school teacher from Havertown, PA has been indicted on charges of child pornography.

Jerome Bennett, 46, a teacher at the St. Monica School in Berwyn, PA, had two laptop computers, two external hard drivers and two flash drives containing images of child pornography seized by federal agents Thursday afternoon.

"The receipt and possession of child pornography are very serious offenses, and the prosecution of these crimes is a top priority for the Department of Justice," said Laurie Magid, the acting US Attorney. "We are particularly alarmed whenever the offender is someone with access to children who could use that access to commit even more heinous crimes against children."

If convicted, Bennett faces a maximum possible sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
