A Valparaiso man who taught in the Raymond public school district is facing several felony charges of possession of child pornography.

Jeffrey Nelson of Valparaiso, a former Raymond Central Public Schools teacher, was in Saunders County Court on Monday afternoon for arraignment on nine counts of child pornography possession and one count of visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct.

The school district said in a written response on Monday that Nelson had been removed the classroom several weeks ago and will not return.

A search warrant filed Jan. 6 in Saunders County Court listed three cameras, a laptop, and a bank statement that were to be seized at Nelson’s residence.

The warrant listed several explicit photos and videos obtained in November, December, and January. According to the document, the media files contained images of girls as young as four years old.

Nelson’s preliminary hearing has been set for February 18th.
