Former Denton HS Teacher Pleads Guilty In Child Porn Case
FORT WORTH, Texas (CBSDFW/AP) - A former North Texas high school journalism teacher faces up to 60 years in federal prison for soliciting teens for child pornography.
38-year-old Gregory Bogomol of Fort Worth pleaded guilty Wednesday to two counts of production of child pornography. Each count carries a maximum statutory penalty of 15 years in federal prison and a maximum of 30 years in federal prison and up to a lifetime of supervised release.
Bogomol, a former Denton High School teacher, faces sentencing Feb. 12 in Fort Worth.
The investigation began after the parents of a 15-year-old Louisiana boy reported he received suggestive cellphone messages from someone pretending to be a girl.
Prosecutors say Bogomol in April coerced a boy into sending a sexually explicit image of himself by threatening to send sexually explicit pictures of the boy to the boy's friends via social media. A few days later Bogomol coerced another child to also send a suggestive image.
Bogomol resigned his teaching position shortly before being arrested in May.
