Jeremy Henrickson, a 45-year-old IT manager at Newman International Academy, was arrested on Wednesday morning for allegedly possessing child pornography. The arrest came as a result of an unrelated investigation that led to multiple employees being fired over the summer. Henrickson was apprehended at his home in Mansfield, Texas, where the private school system is located. Despite the charges against him, no NIA students were involved, and the alleged crimes did not take place on school property. The NIA website still lists him as an IT manager, despite his arrest.
The Newman International Academy has campuses in Arlington, Cedar Hill, Fort Worth, Mansfield, and Watauga. The school’s police department has confirmed that Henrickson was one of several employees fired due to the ongoing criminal investigation. Additional evidence linking him to child pornography was discovered during the probe, leading to his arrest. The Newman International Academy’s Public Safety Department provided a news release regarding the incident.
The arrest of an IT manager at a prestigious private school for possession of child pornography has shocked the local community. Parents and students are reeling from the news, as the school system grapples with the fallout from the scandal. The NIA police have assured the public that the alleged crimes did not involve any students at the school, and took place off school property. As the investigation continues, more details may emerge about the case.
