Teacher allegedly looked at porn with students present

"A substitute teacher who allegedly looked at pornographic images, which students also saw, on a computer at a St. Paul charter school last week was arrested Wednesday at his home, police said.

"Michael Anthony Johnson, 40, of St. Paul, was being held in the Ramsey County jail on suspicion of distributing pornographic images to children, said Peter Panos, St. Paul police spokesman. He has not been charged.

"The incident happened Friday at Community of Peace Academy, Panos said.

"Johnson reportedly was looking at sexually explicit material on a school computer while students were present, police said. Two boys, ages 14 and 15, saw the material, which was not child porn, Panos said.

"It wasn't clear whether the students inadvertently saw the images or Johnson showed them, Panos said."
