A Middletown man charged last week with child porn had just started teaching middle schoolers at a private Catholic school roughly five months ago.
Todd Philip Napolitano is now on administrative leave.
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia said in a press statement the seventh- and eighth-grade teacher at St. Charles Borromeo School had passed all of his background checks and child abuse clearances before he began working at the school in September.
“There was no prior indication that Mr. Napolitano was potentially involved in activity of this nature and no allegations of inappropriate behavior had been lodged against him during his brief time at Saint Charles Borromeo Parish School,” the statement reads in part.
The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said Napolitano was sharing and downloading child pornography in November.
