LAS VEGAS (AP) - A Las Vegas-area high school athletic director who once won honors for his work faces a child pornography charge.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal (https://bit.ly/2kdcZ4j ) reports that 54-year-old Roger Brown made his initial appearance Friday. He was arrested Tuesday on a charge of using or permitting a minor age 14 or older to produce pornography.

The newspaper reports the arrest came after a 17-year-old Arbor View High School student told police that Brown had talked to him about a side business in which the athletic director allegedly collected money from girls who viewed photos of partially clothed teenage boys.



A police report shows authorities are scanning the student’s phone for a recording of the conversation.

Brown is on paid administrative leave. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.
