A Surprise charter school's fifth-grade teacher was snared this week in an international child-pornography investigation spanning more than 20 countries.
Victor Scott McPeak Jr., 36, a teacher at Arizona Charter Academy, was arrested by federal agents Monday as an international pornography ring with its epicenter in Italy was unraveled.
Holdaway said school officials sought to assure parents at a Wednesday meeting that McPeak had no physical contact with students and that none of the activities alleged by investigators happened on school grounds.
When the school found out about McPeak's arrest, it immediately checked his work computer and did not find any child pornography.
FBI agents searched McPeak's home in the 11900 block of North 152nd Drive, finding on his laptop computer numerous images of minors engaged in sexually explicitly conduct, according to U.S. District Court documents.
