CINCINNATI — Alan Greeb stood in the courtroom instead of the classroom Thursday morning, accused of possessing child pornography.
Alan Greeb, a teacher at Delhi Middle School, was arrested Wednesday.
Police said the arrest was made during the school day. Greeb, a band and orchestra teacher, was taken by law enforcement from Delhi Middle School in handcuffs without incident.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office charged Greeb with two counts of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor and one count of pandering obscenity with a minor. All three charges are felonies.
In a release, the sheriff's office stated members of the Regional Electronic & Computer Investigations Section initiated an investigation involving the online internet activities of Greeb after receiving multiple tips through their partnership with the nationwide task force, Internet Crimes Against Children.
Court documents allege Greeb had a picture and a video of a naked 10-year-old girl and a naked 8-year-old girl, both involved in sexual activities.
Detectives say they where alerted by two social media companies, including Kik.
Detective Mary Braun from the Regional Electronic & Computer Investigations Section told WCPO "we just got the tip and we did it very quickly because we found out that he was a middle school teacher."
At Greeb's bond hearing Thursday, prosecutors told the judge there was no indication that any of the alleged incidents occurred on school grounds or that any Oak Hills students were involved.
The school district said it was cooperating with Delhi Township police. Greeb was placed on administrative leave, according to a letter to families from Oak Hills Superintendent Jeff Brandt. The district said Greeb has worked there for six years.
In the letter, Brandt addressed student safety, saying, "as always, we will take every action to keep our students and staff safe and secure, and will continue to communicate with families on security issues or concerns."
The Sheriff's Office encourages anyone with information related to this case to contact the Regional Electronics & Computer Investigations section at 513-946-8338.
