A 37-year-old elementary school teacher, Christopher Ward, has been arrested for allegedly "stockpiling" and sharing child pornography while teaching first-grade students at Hunters Point Elementary School in Queens. Federal prosecutors charged him with receiving, distributing, and possessing porn after his family recorded him admitting to the acts and handed over his phone to authorities. Ward reportedly used a messaging app to share hundreds of illicit images of minors, who were younger than 12 years old, for at least a year, including at least 30 instances of distribution. The Department of Education called the conduct "deeply disturbing" and confirmed Ward is no longer employed.
