A former substitute teacher in Northern Virginia has been charged with 14 child-pornography-related offenses, Fairfax County police said Wednesday. They said they also are investigating allegations that the former teacher had a sexual relationship with a juvenile.
Court records do not indicate whether Riddell is represented by a lawyer. Efforts to reach members of his family were not immediately successful.
Fairfax police said Riddell worked as a part-time substitute teacher for Loudoun County Public Schools between 2008 and 2013. The Loudoun school system did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday. Police said he also worked privately as a music teacher in the Chantilly area.
Fairfax police said they began looking into Riddell after receiving reports that he had a sexual relationship with a juvenile. During that investigation, which is ongoing, police said, they found evidence that led them to file child-pornography charges.
