Child Pornography Case Rocks Lebanon Community
A former teacher at Lebanon Junior High School in Missouri has pleaded guilty to downloading child pornography at school.
Evert Henry, 42, of Lebanon, Missouri, admitted to receiving child pornography over the Internet from January 1, 2011, to January 13, 2016, while he was a teacher in the Lebanon R-3 School District.
According to court documents, the Information Technology Director of the junior high school discovered Henry downloading pornography to his school-issued computer while at the school. When questioned by law enforcement, Henry confessed that he had been viewing child pornography for a considerable amount of time.
Henry’s actions were discovered after he was found to have been downloading pornography to his school-issued computer. He initially denied viewing child pornography, but later admitted that he had intentionally searched for images of child pornography.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney James J. Kelleher. It was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Lebanon, Mo., Police Department.
Henry’s guilty plea is part of a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
