Delaware private school administrator faces child pornography charges

A The administrator of a Delaware private school has been arrested and charged with five counts of trafficking child pornography.

Police arrived at Tower Hill School in Wilmington on Tuesday with a warrant to investigate William Ushler, the high school admissions director, for possession of child pornography.

Upon his arrest, Ushler was fired and banned from campus, according to an email from school principal Elizabeth Speers obtained by the Delaware Newspaper.

“While we do not anticipate any finds indicating that a member of the Tower Hill community has been harmed, our thoughts and prayers are with the children whose images are depicted and who are victims of such deplorable crimes,” Speers said. .

Ushler, who had worked at the school for 15 years, is not the first Tower Hill school administrator to be arrested for child pornography.

In 2015, former director Christopher Wheeler was convicted of 25 counts of child pornography. The state Supreme Court later overturned his convictions on the grounds that a search warrant was “unconstitutionally broad.”
