Long Beach School Aide Distributed Child Porn: Police

LONG BEACH, CA — A Long Beach school aide has been arrested on suspicion of possessing and distributing child pornography, the Los Angeles Police Department announced Tuesday.

Police say officers were investigating another case when they discovered Jaylee Brackman, 22, of Long Beach, was in possesion of child porn and was distributing it.

She was employed with Long Beach Unified School District as a para-professional aide at the time of her arrest, according to the LAPD. She is currently being jailed without bail, police said.

As a para-professional aide, Brackman works with children who have disabilities, according to police, who released her photo Tuesday in hopes that more possible victims may come forward.

In a statement Tuesday, an LBUSD spokesperson said that although Brackman was working as a contracted service provider with the district, there is no known connection between the arrest and her work at this time.

"The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority," the spokesperson said in the statement. "The district is fully cooperating with law enforcement and has taken proactive steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place."

The LAPD asks anyone who may be a victim or has additional information regarding Brackman to contact authorities at 213-280-1501.
