FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — A suspended Williamson County teacher was arrested after investigators say they found "images of apparent child sexual abuse" on his electronic devices.
Members of the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Spring Hill Police Department arrested Alfred Amore Friday.
He faces multiple charges. Williamson County Sheriff's officials said in a press release that the victims depicted in the images appeared to be toddlers.
Currently, there is no evidence that Amore abused any Williamson County student. He remains on suspension from Williamson County Schools.
