From Enterprise Staff

A Leggett High School history teacher has been placed on administrative leave following his arrest for possession of child pornography and possession with intent to promote child pornography.

Francisco Sauceda, 29 of Splendora, was arrested Wednesday at his home in Splendora by the Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office. He has been charged with four counts of possession of child pornography, third degree felonies, and one count of possession with intent to promote child pornography, a second degree felony.

“Leggett ISD is aware of the situation but has limited information at this time. Based on the extremely limited information we have received, we believe the alleged conduct occurred off-campus and away from the school and poses no danger to our Leggett ISD student population or community at this time,” a statement released Thursday morning by Leggett ISD said.

“We’re truly sickened and saddened and frustrated. Just like any other school district, our first order of business is the safety of our students,” Leggett ISD Superintendent Jana Lowe said.
