A former Lebanon Junior High School teacher pleaded guilty in federal court today to downloading child pornography.
Evert Henry, 42, of Lebanon, Mo., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge M. Douglas Harpool to the charge contained in a Feb. 23, 2016, federal indictment.
Henry was a teacher in the Lebanon R-3 School District at the junior high school during the time of the offense. By pleading guilty today, Henry admitted that he received child pornography over the Internet from Jan. 1, 2011, to Jan. 13, 2016.
According to court documents, the Information Technology Director of the junior high school, where Henry was employed as a teacher, discovered he was downloading pornography to his school-issued computer while at the school. Henry admitted that “it was possible” that he had viewed child pornography on his computer. He later specified that he had intentionally searched for images of child pornography. When questioned by law enforcement, Henry confessed that he had been viewing child pornography for a considerable amount of time.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney James J. Kelleher. It was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Lebanon, Mo., Police Department.
