BOSTON (WHDH) - A Boston Public Schools employee is off the job and facing serious charges after investigators say he asked a child for inappropriate images.
According to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, a relative of the child found communications between the child and Ernest Logan, 31, including messages where Logan allegedly encouraged the victim to send him sexual images. The victim allegedly complied, and the relative told police.
The DA’s office said Logan was known to the family through his employment as a technician at TechBoston Academy. Logan was arrested Friday and arraigned on two counts of lascivious posing a child in a state of nudity in West Roxbury District Court Monday.
Bail was set in the amount of $3,000 with orders that he stay away from and have no contact with the victim or witnesses and stay away from the victim’s home and school, the DA’s office said.
In a statement, a BPS spokesperson said “Boston Public Schools prioritizes the health, safety, and wellbeing of our students and staff and works to ensure all members of our community feel safe and supported in our schools. We also work swiftly when informed that a member of our community has done something that is counter to that shared value. While we cannot comment on the specifics of this incident, we can confirm that a member of the community has been placed on leave and we are cooperating with the Boston Police Department and their investigation.”
