A South Jersey elementary school teacher is facing charges of possession and distribution of child pornography.
Thomas Guzzi Jr., 36, has been suspended from his job teaching fifth grade at Winslow Elementary School, in Vineland. Officials said he was arrested after an investigation by state authorities and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement found child porn on his computer. He was arrested at his home in Pitman.
Guzzi’s bail was set at $50,000, and he was being held at Salem County Jail. Investigators seized four computers, three iPads and two phones from him.
Police did not specify whether any of Guzzi’s students were harmed, but school officials informed parents of Guzzi’s arrest via a letter last week and said they are cooperating with the investigation.
