United States: A teacher at an elementary school in Virginia has been charged with child sex crimes, which include creating and disseminating materials that promote child sex abuse material.

On October 15, the schoolteacher was arrested and faced criminal charges.

According to ABC 8 News, Miranda Stewart Janeway, a third-grade teacher at Prince George County, Virginia’s David A. Harrison Elementary, was taken into custody and is being held at the Riverside Regional Jail without bond, according to reports.

Janeway is accused of knowingly possessing child sex abuse material, of producing or creating child sex abuse material with a subject who is younger than fifteen, of disseminating child sex abuse material, and of engaging in indecent behavior with a child while acting as their supervisor.

“To hear that it’s — come on, a teacher? That shouldn’t be something that even crosses our minds,” a parent who wished to remain anonymous told the outlet. “I thought she was a nice teacher, [a] good teacher and good for my son.”

Police were able to confirm that the child in question was not a student at the school, but that did not change the parent’s mind:

“That’s still a child out there that it was still happening with—I mean, it could have been at another school, that’s… you know, [it’s] still nerve-racking.”

Families at David A. Harrison Elementary received a statement from the school regarding the teacher. Janeway was placed on leave and is not permitted on the school’s grounds:

“Earlier today, the Prince George County Police Department informed our school division that law enforcement had arrested Miranda Janeway, a third-grade David A. Harrison Elementary School teacher, on felony charges related to child pornography. Miranda Janeway was arrested off school grounds,” as per reports.

The statement read, “This individual has been placed on administrative leave and is not permitted to have any contact with students or staff or be on property at any of the district’s campuses, pending the outcome of this law enforcement investigation.”

“At this time, through our communication with law enforcement, we do not believe any of our students were involved in this matter or that the matter took place on school property,” the statement added.

The preliminary hearing for Janeway is scheduled for December 3.
