A Palm Beach County middle school teacher is wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on child pornography charges, the agency has reported.
The FBI has identified the teacher as Corey Dejuan Perry, 33, who taught at H.L. Watkins Middle School in Palm Beach Gardens. Perry has gone into hiding after FBI agents conducted a search of his home on Friday. The agents seized computers and other devices that implicated the accused rogue teacher.
Officials say Perry posed as a girl and tricked boys into sending him explicit photographs and video footage of themselves via electronic mail or social media.
Police suspect some students at the middle school appear to be victims.
Authorities say Perry is the subject of a federal arrest warrant for production of child pornography and receipt of child pornography and enticement. The school district has since suspended Perry.
The FBI said Perry was last seen in West Palm Beach five days ago. Authorities are urging the public to call 911 if they see him.
The FBI says if any parent or guardian believes their children had electronic or social media contact with Perry, they're asked to call authorities and preserve the content as possible evidence.
