A teacher in a private San Francisco elementary and middle school was charged in federal court with receipt of child pornography.
The charges against 33-year-old Charles Richard Barrett were announced in a news release from the office of U.S. Attorney Stephanie M. Hinds and Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Tatum King. Prosecutors did not name the school in the news release.
Prosecutors said that in June of 2020, as part of an investigation into Barrett's partner, federal agents came into possession of a computer found in Barrett's residence and established that Barrett communicated with two suspected minors in 2013 and 2014 and received sexually explicit images involving minors from them.
The news release does not state whether Barrett was a teacher at the time of the incidents and makes no claim that the boys involved were his students.
