According to the Burke County Sheriff's Office, investigators were contacted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation after an elementary teacher was allegedly found to be part of a child pornography investigation.
Investigators say 54-year-old Michael Andrew Alexander, a 3rd grade teacher at Hildebran Elementary School, was connected to an international child pornography investigation coordinated by Europol.
Authorities in Barcelona, Spain arrested a suspect, Javier Alvarez Varela, who was involved in a takedown known as Operation "Filipo." After the arrest in Spain, authorities contacted the United States Embassy and provided them with information obtained subsequent to the arrest.
Authorities believe some of the child pornography found in Spain came from Alexander.
One child in a video, according to investigators, was wearing a Hildebran Elementary School T-shirt, the same school where Alexander was a teacher. (more...)
