Cardinal McCarrick High School officials and parents were shocked to learn from news reports that a teacher recently admitted in court that he had downloaded child porn.

Members of the FBI?s Innocent Images Unit discovered child pornography videos on James Kazanjian?s home computer. School officials claim authorities never notified them of Kazanjian?s arrest. A judge restricted Kazanjian, a teacher at the South Amboy school for 12 years, from interacting with young children during off-work hours. However, the judge never required that the school be notified.

School officials say they still haven?t recieved official notice. Kazanjian was suspended Thursday after administrators heard the report.. If convicted, Kazanjian faces up to 10 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine.
