CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md. (AP) - A Prince George’s County Public Schools employee has been arrested on child pornography charges.
Local media reports Maryland police arrested 34-year-old Christopher H. Speights Thursday after searching his Capitol Heights home. Detectives seized electronic devices Speights admitted using to upload child pornography on Dropbox, which had tipped off authorities.
Police say more than 150 files of mostly young boys were found at Speights’ residence. Investigators say it’s too early to tell if any images include children he interacted with during nearly a decade with the school system.
The school district said says it fired Speights who has been a substitute teacher and basketball coach.
Police and Prince George’s schools both say anyone with information or concern about contact their child may have had with Speights should call state police at 410-953-8272.
