Tower Hill School Sends Email to Reassure Parents in Child Porn Case

Tower Hill School Website

Tower Hill School officials have sent out an email to parents saying there is no indication that any student was involved in the investigation of former headmaster Christopher Wheeler for child pornography.

And, they reassured them that the school is cooperating with law enforcement.

53-year old Wheeler was arrested on 25 charges of dealing in child porn after an October 22th search that included his home and office on campus.

The Wilmington News Journalreports that authorities say this turned up 25 explicit digital photos of young boys engaged in sex with men.

Wheeler turned himself in and is being held on $1.5 million cash bail.
