A New Jersey teacher is in custody after prosecutors say they found videos of young boys engaging in sex acts on his computer.

Authorities announced Wednesday that David L. Rodriguez, 52, of 1205 Roberts Lane in Evesham, is being charged with possession of child pornography. Rodriguez is a biology teacher at Cumberland Regional High School.

The Burlington County Prosecutor's Office says Rodriguez used an online service to upload photos and videos, many of which depicted underage and prepubescent boys engaging in sexual acts.

Rodriguez was arrested at his home after the execution of a search warrant. He's been jailed on $15,000 bail and will appear in court Thursday.

The school could not immediately be reached for comment.
