MARION COUNTY, Fla. — A custodian at Greenway Elementary School in Marion County was arrested on charges of possessing child pornography, according to the Marion County Sheriff's office.
An investigation into the behavior of 61-year-old Fredric Nourse began in April 2019 when officials received a tip about an IP address located in Silver Springs that might have been transmitting child porn, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Investigators said Nourse initially denied the activity, but deputies found several images depicting child porn on his phone.
Nourse was charged with 20 counts of possession of child porn. He remains jailed on $100,000 bail.
The Marion County School Board said that Nourse worked the night shift and had minimal contact with children.
