GARDEN CITY – Law enforcement authorities in Finney and Sedgwick Counties are investigating a case of child pornography.

Police in Wichita on Friday arrested Steve Thompson, 62, in connection with an investigation in Garden City, according to a media release.

In September of 2013 an investigation was initiated after apparent child pornography was located on Thompson’s work computer on the campus of the Garden City Community College.

Throughout the course of the investigation multiple search warrants were served on Thompson’s residence, vehicles, and computer equipment.

Forensic examinations of multiple computers and media storage devices led to the discovery of images relating to child pornography.

On Thursday, an arrest warrant was obtained and sent to the Wichita Police Department in an attempt to locate Thompson who now resides in Wichita and works as a teacher at Northeast Magnet High School.

He is being held at the Sedgwick County Jail and could face the possible charges of Sexual Exploitation of a Child.

The Finney County Attorney’s Office is expected to released additional details next week.
