PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A teacher at a Lower Merion high school is charged with soliciting explicit pictures and videos of children.
Jeremy Schobel, 31, has been suspended from his job as an English teacher at Harriton High School in Bryn Mawr.
According to court documents, the FBI said Schobel admitted to posing as a young girl on social media and communicating with many others for years — doing so to obtain sexually explicit images of girls.
Federal authorities tracked some of his Snapchat use to the Harriton High campus.
The Lower Merion School District said it has no knowledge of any contact Schobel may have had with students.
Schobel is facing two counts related to manufacturing child pornography. He is being held ahead of a hearing scheduled in federal court next week.
