LOS ANGELES – A 28-year-old Foshay Learning Center teacher pleaded not guilty today to felony possession of child pornography on his LAUSD-issued laptop computer, the District Attorney’s office announced.

Deputy District Attorney Marc Beaart with the High Tech Crimes Division said Lief Arnesen Albaugh, (dob 6-20-08), did not enter a plea on a second felony count of possession of child pornography that was added today.

After receiving a tip, LAPD officers conducted a search warrant on June 4 at Albaugh’s home and his school. Officers allegedly discovered thousands of images of young boys and girls engaged in sexual conduct on both his home computer and his LAUSD-issued laptop.

Albaugh is scheduled to return to court on July 9 in Division 33 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center be arraigned on the second felony count and to have a date set for a preliminary hearing.

If convicted, he faces up to three years, eight months in state prison. He remains free on $20,000 bond.
