An eastern Pennsylvania middle school teacher has been jailed on charges he possessed and shared child pornography with others on the Internet.
Online court records don't list an attorney for 58-year-old Kenneth Hamilton Jr., of Phoenixville, who was arrested by the state police on Saturday.
Phoenixville Area School District spokesman Keith Black says Hamilton was placed on unpaid leave Monday after school officials learned of the charges. Black says the district has received no information about any inappropriate contact by Hamilton with students.
Troopers say they learned about the child pornography in October and seized Hamilton's computer Nov. 26.
He remained in the Chester County Jail Monday, unable to post $250,000 bond, and faces a preliminary hearing Thursday on 13 felony charges.
