A former teacher who reportedly likes to dress in drag is facing a long list of charges, including multiple counts of child pornography as well as distributing and exhibiting that material and soliciting via computer.
A report from the Journal-News explains the Jefferson County, West Virginia, sheriff's office announced the charges against Edgar Conn, formerly a Jefferson High teacher.
The report said was arrested over the weekend for being a fugitive and is facing eight counts of sexual exploitation of a child in Cobb County, Georgia.
Jefferson County Sgt. Joe Forman also got an arrest warrant for Conn that accuses him of distributing and exhibiting material depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, soliciting a minor via computer, and distributing and displaying to minors of obscene matter.
The case was developed after a juvenile in Georgia told authorities he had sent sexually explicit images to an adult in Jefferson County.
Authorities explained the 17-year-old boy believed he was communicating with an adult female named "Megan."
Investigators confirmed they obtained a search warrant for Conn's smartphone and a forensic examiner reported discovering text messages that substantiated the allegations.
Conn was being held in jail pending a preliminary hearing.
At the Geller Report was the stark admonition, "Get your children out of government schools."
The report said school officials removed Conn from his teaching duties as soon as the case became public.
"JCS immediately notified the West Virginia Department of Education for the purpose of licensure review and nationwide notification purposes to prevent the former employee from being able to teach," the school said.
