Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - A man who was employed as a teacher at a Rochester private school at the time of his arrest in March finalized a plea agreement today involving child pornography charges.

Thirty-seven-year-old Wolf Brian Parsons was working at Resurrection Lutheran School in northwest Rochester when he became the target of a Rochester police investigation in February. The investigation was launched after authorities received a cyber tip about suspected child sexual abuse material found on Skype. After his arrest, the school issued a statement confirming Parsons’ employment had been terminated and that there was no evidence his alleged activities involved any students.

According to the criminal complaint, investigators traced an IP address linked to the cyber tip back to Parsons, leading to the execution of a search warrant at his residence.
