Pennsylvania teacher arrested for creating child pornography, federal officials say
Key Points:
- Eric Sanville, a 39-year-old elementary school teacher in the Philadelphia suburbs, was arrested and charged with manufacturing child pornography.
- Sanville, who taught at Gwynedd Square Elementary School in Montgomery County, allegedly used a messaging app to coerce two 8-year-old girls into sexually explicit acts.
- North Penn School District officials confirmed Sanville was placed on leave, barred from school property, and prohibited from contacting students.
- Investigators do not believe any current North Penn students were involved or that district technology was used in the crimes.
- Sanville appeared in court and faces 15 to 30 years in prison if convicted; the district is cooperating fully with law enforcement.
