“This arrest is deeply disturbing,” said FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass. “Not only was this individual trafficking in vile material but he was doing it on school grounds, during school hours surrounded by children. At FDLE, we will never allow predators to hide behind screens or school walls. We will track them down, expose them and bring them to justice.”

The investigation began on June 2 when a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Endangered Children (NCMEC) alerted an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) detective with HHPD to an individual using a Discord account to share files depicting the sexual abuse of children.

Disturbingly, detectives further determined that McKeown was a teacher at United Brethren in Christ (UBIC) Academy. Evidence revealed he downloaded and communicated with other Discord users during school hours, utilizing the school’s Wi-Fi network.

“This arrest is deeply disturbing,” said FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass. “Not only was this individual trafficking in vile material but he was doing it on school grounds, during school hours surrounded by children.
