Sandy Springs school administrator charged with sexual exploitation of children

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. - Police have arrested an employee of a Sandy Springs private school they say is accused of the possession of child pornography.

Thursday afternoon, the Sandy Springs Police Department say they arrested Christopher James Winslow and charged him with two counts of the sexual exploitation of children.

Winslow was the chief financial officer of the Mount Vernon School, a private school that teaches students from preschool through 12th grade. He has since been fired from the school.

According to investigators, Winslow is accused of possessing "child sex abuse material."

In a statement, a school spokesperson says that there is no indication from law enforcement that any of its students or any other employees were involved. 

"This is devastating news for everyone, and we are committed to supporting law enforcement's investigation however we can," the spokesperson told FOX 5. "The safety and well-being of our students is our most important priority, and for that reason, Mr. Winslow, will no longer be part of our School community moving forward."
