A substitute teacher for Bowling Green city schools will remain in jail on child pornography charges. A detention hearing was held Friday in U.S. District Court in Bowling Green.
Leon Lussier was arrest Tuesday on charges of possessing and distributing child pornography. He was denied bond by Magistrate Judge Brent Brennenstuhl who said the 49-year-old Lussier posed a risk of harm.
An international investigation launched by Canadian police alleges Lussier was streaming child pornography videos. Authorities says a search of his Bowling Green home uncovered videos of children engaged in sex acts.
Lussier has worked as a substitute teacher in Bowling Green schools since 2012. Following his arrest, the school system placed Lussier on indefinite suspension.
He will return to court September 23 for arraignment.
