Former W. Bridgewater Teacher Faces 10 Years in Child Porn Conviction



BrocktonPost
BOSTON--A former 11th grade teacher at West Bridgewater High School was convicted Wednesday in federal court in Boston of possession of child pornography.  
Paul J. Teves, 35, of Fall River, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography before U.S. District Judge Joseph L. Tauro Wednesday, March 7 in Boston, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office. 
Teves was charged and arrested in September 2011.
Had the case proceeded to trial prosecutors say the evidence would have proven Teves portrayed himself online as the mother willing to “pimp” out an 11-year-old daughter.  After a search warrant, Teves admitted to trading and possessing child pornography.
From 2002-2005, Teves was a tennis coach at Bishop Connolly High School. From 2005 until his arrest, Teves was a teacher at West Bridgewater High School, and a coach for the boys and girls track team.
Judge Tauro has scheduled sentencing for June 12.  
Teves faces up to 10 years in federal prison to be followed by up to lifetime supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.
