Ex-Teacher Faces Federal Porn Charges

A former Chapel Hill teacher arrested last summer on child-sex charges now faces federal charges involving pornography.

David Campbell Jones, 47, of 113 Hampton Court in Chapel Hill, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Greensboro on charges of child pornography and trying to engage in sexual activity with a minor, according to court documents.

Jones planned to turn himself in to federal authorities this week, said his attorney, Syd Alexander. Jones has cooperated with authorities since he was released from jail on $510,000 bond, Alexander said.

Jones resigned as a science teacher and football coach at Guy B. Phillips Middle School in August after he was arrested on charges of solicitation of a child by computer to commit an unlawful sex act. He also has been charged with 20 counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.

Police said Jones attempted to meet up with a 15-year-old boy after soliciting the teen online. When he was arrested, Jones was carrying condoms, personal lubricant and a digital camera, according to a search warrant.

Investigators seized several computers after Jones was arrested and found thousands of videos and photos of young children engaged in sex acts.

5blueeyes, great comment.

Maybe with these new charges he will be put back in jail where he belongs and stays there with NO BOND !!!!!!!

The only thing we can do is pray for people because their minds are sick and need healing!

Narck9 - I agree, Law Enforcement did it right this time. When approached by the parent, they took it seriously and set up communication with Jones. They did all the right things to CATCH him, not just investigate it. Good Job!

Travis - Yeah, he's not "Guilty" in the eyes of the justice system until he is convicted in court. But the story says (and the fact is) that he has cooperated with the cops and has not tried to hide what he has done. He is absolutely guilty - just not officially yet... therefore there should be NO bond, ever...

Good job to the law enforcement officer investigating this case. Glad to see that they have locked up this child predator.
