‘Sickening, disgusting, any other word that you can apply to the word evil’: Elementary school teacher and day care worker arrested on child porn charges
A 35-year-old man employed at a day care and public elementary school in Florida has been arrested for allegedly possessing videos and photos of “extremely disturbing” child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
James Anthony Cohen was taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with 10 counts of possessing material depicting the sexual performance of a child, court documents reviewed by Law&Crime show.
Following his arrest, Cohen was immediately suspended from his role as an instructional assistant for special needs students at Tropical Elementary School and removed from his position at KinderCare day care. The sheriff’s office said the day care and the Brevard County School District have been “extremely, extremely cooperative” with the investigation.
“This is a sick puppy. In my 42 years of law enforcement, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything as disturbing as the videos that we have recovered as part of this case,” Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said in a Facebook live video. “When I say disturbing, I mean extremely disturbing. Sickening, disgusting, any other word that you can apply to the word evil and concerning would tie into this.”
