Sandy Springs Child Sex Crime Case: Private School CFO Arrested Twice

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — The former chief financial officer at The Mount Vernon School, who is facing child sex crime charges, was arrested for a second time Tuesday after authorities accused him of making false statements during a police interview, 11Alive reported Thursday.

Sandy Springs Police said in the past Christopher James Winslow was first arrested on April 27. Police did not say what led to the charges but accused Winslow of possessing child sexual abuse material.

"He was rearrested after our investigation showed that he possessed more images than we were originally aware of. None of the images that were found were of children associated with the Mount Vernon School. Our investigation continues," police told Patch Thursday.

Citing the arrest warrant, 11Alive reported Winslow was accused of making false statements regarding a Russian-based website where content can freely be shared without the threat of legal action. The website was one of about a dozen websites listed on the warrant where images and videos of minors can be shared, the outlet reported.

The Mount Vernon School sent Patch the following statement Thursday:

"Approximately a month ago, we were informed of disturbing criminal charges against our former CFO, Mr. Chris Winslow. We have been informed of additional charges against Mr. Winslow. Law enforcement continues to reassure us that there is no indication that any of our students or other employees were involved. While we do not have additional details at this time, we remain committed to supporting law enforcement’s investigation."
