Former Woodland Park teacher arrested in child porn case

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

THE GAZETTE

A former Spanish teacher from Woodland Park High School was arrested today on allegations that he collected child pornography.

Jonathan Allen McPhee, 35, was booked into the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center and released after posting a $3,000 bond.

According to the Colorado Springs police Internet Crimes against Children unit, which handled the probe, authorities began investigating in February when someone found a notebook belonging to McPhee filled with written fantasies about sex with children.

After further investigation, authorities found "several hundred images" of child pornography that McPhee had downloaded onto a computer.

Police did not say where the computer was located.

There are no known local victims, police said.

McPhee was placed on administrative leave from Woodland Park High on Feb. 11 and ended up resigning two days later.
