Former school employee accused of distributing child porn

UXBRIDGE, Mass. — A former school employee and PTO member is accused of distributing of child pornography from his home in Uxbridge.

In September, two online undercover investigators saw two videos and five images depicting child pornography distributed by an unidentified person. Investigators identified two IP addresses that received the lewd images and videos. Both IP addresses belonged to Charter Communications.

A grand jury subpoena asked Charter to hand over the subscriber information. One of the IP Addresses belonged to Jason Andolina of Uxbridge, specifically a cell phone that was registered as "Jason Daddy Loves Hugs.". The other IP Address belonged to Northbridge High School in Whitinsville, which is where Andolina was employed at the time.

Further investigation led officials to believe that Andolina was distributing images and videos of child sexual abuse, said the court records. He also downloaded videos, some of which includes, "..a mixture of child pornography, adult pornography, and bestiality videos," said court affidavit.

According to a Northbridge High blog post, Andolina was employed as a teacher's aide at the high school. He also served on the PTO for Taft Elementary School, which is in the Uxbridge District. He's also worked with the Boy Scouts.

On Thursday, parents told FOX25 they received a robocall from Northbridge High School stating Andolina had been let go due to "criminal activity."

"We have been informed that his criminal conduct does not involve any students in the Northbridge Public Schools. After receiving this information, I immediately removed him from the workplace," said Dr. Stickney, superintendent of schools, in a statement.

Neighbors told FOX25 they saw police officers raiding the house Thursday morning.

Court records also said that some of the images Andolina was accessing were tied to a child pornography ring in Florida.
