School District swing shift worker arrested on child pornography charges

On Friday, January 8, 2016, the Seattle Police Department notified Shoreline Public Schools that an employee had been arrested on charges of possessing and distributing child pornography. The District immediately placed the employee on administrative leave and initiated an internal investigation while fully cooperating with law enforcement.

The employee has been a swing shift painter in the District since July 2013.

The District completed a background check on the employee before offering employment. The result of that background check indicated no previous criminal history and the police stated, when they spoke with the District, that the individual has no previous criminal history. During the tenure of his employment, the District received no complaints about this employee.
