St. Charles County teacher arrested for child porn www.privateofficer.com
Matt Hansen, 38, of Winfield, has been teaching math to seventh-graders in the Fort Zumwalt School District in St. Charles County since 2004 but is now on administrative leave pending the outcome of the police investigation.
District Superintendent Bernard DuBray said he was told of the charges against Hansen by a detective with the St. Charles County cyber crimes unit. No district students have been connected to the child pornography allegedly found on Hansen’s computer, DuBray said, although the investigation is continuing.
Hansen was taken into custody in Van Buren County, Iowa, on June 3 after he threatened to jump off a cellular tower, according to the Ottumwa Courier newspaper. He was talked into climbing down and later waived an extradition hearing.
He was returned to Missouri on Friday.
