WASHINGTON — The principal of a Prince George’s County elementary school is on administrative leave, days after a volunteer aide was arrested for producing child pornography on school grounds and elsewhere.
Michelle Williams, the principal of Judge Sylvania Woods Elementary School in Glenarden, has been placed on leave, according to Prince George’s County Public Schools spokeswoman Sherrie Johnson.
On Friday, 22-year-old Deonte Carraway was charged with 10 felony counts of manufacturing child pornography, soliciting students, sexual abuse of a minor, and second-degree sexual offense.
Police have said Carraway videotaped students of the school. Carraway is being held on $1 million bond.
Johnson said she couldn’t say why Williams was placed on administrative leave, due to employee confidentiality rules.
Investigators are aware of 10 victims, between the ages of 9 and 13, but are concerned there may be more.
Police have said an uncle of one of Carraway’s victims alerted police to a nude photo he said the victim had sent Carraway, using the Kik messaging app.
Police are asking parents and caretakers, concerned that their child may be a victim, to call 301-772-4930, which will connect them to the Child and Vulnerable Adult Abuse Unit.
