JACKMAN, Maine (AP) — A Maine kindergarten teacher facing child pornography charges has quit his job.

The school board for Jackman’s Forest Hills Consolidated School accepted the resignation of 41-year-old Rob Mocarsky at a special meeting on Tuesday.

The resignation was worked out by Mocarsky’s lawyer and the school district. It is effective Feb. 19.

Mocarsky is facing felony charges of sexual exploitation of a minor and possession of sexually explicit materials, both involving children younger than 12.

Police say Mocarsky had hundreds of pornographic photos of children on his home computer. The investigation began after a mother told school officials he had made a student dress in a French maid’s costume and photographed her.

Mocarsky’s attorney tells the Morning Sentinel the resignation was a “mutually satisfactory agreement.”
