Teacher Pleads Not Guilty To Owning Child Porn
LOS ANGELES
A 28-year-old band teacher from Foshay Learning Center in Los
Angeles has entered a not guilty plea to a felony charge that he possessed child pornography on a school-owned laptop.
Lief Arnesen Albaugh, 28, who was arraigned yesterday, is scheduled to be arraigned July 9 on a second felony count of possession of child porn
involving his home computer, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Los Angeles police served a search warrant June 4 at Albaugh's Los Angeles home and the school, officials said.
Officers allegedly discovered thousands of images of young boys and girls engaged in sexual conduct on both his LAUSD-issued computer and his home computer, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Albaugh was arrested June 4 and released on $20,000 bail.
Alan P. Hubbard, 49, a dean at Foshay Learning Center, is awaiting a preliminary hearing on charges of obstruction of justice and being an accessory after the fact.
He is accused of covering up an affair between fellow administrator Steve Thomas Rooney and a student Rooney met while he was working at the school.
Rooney, now 39, is awaiting trial on 13 felony sex-related counts involving the former Foshay student and two girls at Markham Middle School, where Rooney became an assistant principal after leaving Foshay.
