PORTLAND — An elementary school teacher has been accused of being “in possession of and duplicating child pornography,” according to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office.
Brett Cunningham, 40, is a licensed teacher in Oregon, most recently employed at a Hillsboro elementary school, the district attorney’s office said in a news release Friday.
Cunningham is charged with two counts of first-degree encouraging child sexual abuse and eight counts of second-degree encouraging child sexual abuse, according to the district attorney’s office. It wasn’t immediately known if he has a lawyer to comment on his case.
Cunningham was indicted by a Multnomah County grand jury earlier this week.
On Thursday, Cunningham was arraigned in Multnomah County Circuit Court where the state and court agreed he could remain out of custody until trial, the district attorney’s office said.
