Montgomery County math teacher charged with child pornography possession

 

A math teacher at Roberto W. Clemente Middle School in Germantown was arrested Wednesday on multiple counts of possessing child pornography, authorities said. The alleged offenses do not involve students.

Kevin Bremerman, 35, has been placed on administrative leave from the Montgomery County school system. He began working there in 2017, teaching at Goshen Elementary School for three years, and had been at Roberto Clemente since July, according to school officials.

The investigation started in January after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a tip from the instant messaging app Kik that a user was possibly uploading child pornography, according to arrest records filed in court. That user was determined to be Bremerman, police said. They searched his residence Monday and say they found “numerous videos and photographs of child pornography on his cellular phone.”..
