Police in Montgomery County, MD arrested and charged 54-year-old elementary school music teacher Lawrence Wesley Joynes last week with multiple counts of sexual abuse, child abuse, rape and molestation after finding child pornography on the teacher’s computer. According to ABC Channel 7, some of the pornographic materials featured Joynes’ students and appeared to have been produced on school grounds.

Joynes has been teaching in the Montgomery County School System for 27 years. For the last 10, he has been at New Hampshire Estates Elementary School in Silver Spring, MD.

He was arrested Aug. 8 and is currently being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center on 14 counts of sex abuse of a minor, one count of sex offense in the third degree and one count of second-degree rape. According to police, 14 of the 15 victims were between kindergarten and second grade in age at the time that the abuses occurred.
