LOUSVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) — Allegations of child pornography have cost a Trinity High School teacher and assistant football coach his job.
Patrick Newman will answer to the charges in court on Friday, June 5.
Federal detectives say Newman’s social media accounts contained sexually explicit videos and messages between him and a teenage boy in Texas.
Trinity sent a note home to parents, stating that neither the school nor the Archdiocese of Louisville have ever received any reports of this nature involving Newman with any of the schools where he has taught.
The letter read as follows:
WEDNESDAY, 03 JUNE 2015 09:57
June 3, 2015
Dear Parents,
We learned yesterday that Mr. Patrick Newman, a Trinity teacher, is facing criminal charges involving internet pornography with a minor, while using his home computer. Neither Trinity nor the Archdiocese of Louisville have ever received any reports of this nature regarding Mr. Newman, and there are no indications of any involvement of the schools where he has previously worked.
Based upon the complaint and Mr. Newman’s statements, he will not be returning to work in any capacity at Trinity.
