A Texas high school teacher faces felony child porn and solicitation charges after police allege he sent sexually explicit images and messages to a young girl.

Jorge Ramirez, a 25-year-old first year science teacher at Era High School, turned himself in to Cooke County Sheriff’s officials last week to face charges of online solicitation of a minor and possession of child pornography, KXII reports.

Investigators searched Ramirez’s apartment and confiscated his electronic devices after they were tipped off by the school district about the teacher’s illegal online activities.

“On May 4^th, the Cooke County Sheriff Office was contacted by Era ISD officials about an allegation regarding a high school teacher that was brought to their attention,” Sheriff Terry Gilbert said in a news release. “An investigation into the allegations led the Sheriff’s Office to obtain two probable cause warrants for the arrest of Jorge L. Ramirez.”

Ramirez admitted to sharing child pornography and sending inappropriate messages to minors on multiple social media sites, police allege.

“Court documents say when deputies arrived at his apartment they confiscated several electronic devices, including a ‘Tor’ privacy router, which is commonly used to download and share child pornography,” KXII reports.

Ramirez, who is on administrative leave from Era ISD, is only one of countless educators across the country who are arrested every week for possession of child pornography, or attempts to solicit sex from students.

Earlier this month, a third grade teacher in Pasco County, Florida was arrested on 10 charges of child pornography after sheriff’s deputies discovered numerous images of child sex on his personal cell phone, which he allowed officers to review as part of an ongoing investigation, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

School officials forced Brush to resign.
