Christopher Carlisle, a 29-year-old employee in Needham's Extended Day Program, has been charged with multiple offenses related to child pornography. The charges follow a three-month investigation that was prompted by alerts from the Kik messenger app. While more than 100 concerning photographs were found during the police inquiry, the school superintendent has clarified that there is no current evidence suggesting that any Needham students were involved or harmed. Carlisle has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of legal proceedings.
Investigators were tipped off after the Kik messenger app flagged a username from an IP address on four separate occasions in February, indicating serious misconduct.
No information from law enforcement indicates that Needham students were involved or harmed, providing some reassurance amidst the alarming news about an employee's misconduct.
