Buffalo, NY (WBEN) A former substitute teacher and coach pleads guilty to possessing child porn.
36 year old Steven Gasiorek admitted he pretended to be a teenage girl living in California and used a fictitious Instagram account in the name of LEXIGURL1015 to communicate with numerous minor males and receive child pornography from them.

Gasiorek was working at JFK Middle and High Schools at the time.
The victims lived in Cheektowaga, Lancaster, Virginia, Texas, and Florida. In total, Gasiorek possessed over 600 images and videos of child pornography.
