A married Ohio high school teacher faces federal child pornography charges
after he was accused of trying to meet up with a 14-year-old girl for sex.
Though he allegedly thought he was communicating with the girl's mother on
a messaging app, he was instead talking to an undercover agent, according
to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
Investigators tracked Kevin Hedrick, 37, of New Franklin, on the app Kik,
where he allegedly used the alias Mike Smith. According to an FBI
affidavit in support of a criminal complaint, Hedrick thought he was
communicating with the 28-year-old mother of two underage girls, but he
was actually speaking with a U.S. Secret Service agent.
Hedrick, a social studies teacher at Medina High School, has been charged
in Cleveland federal court with two counts of child pornography: receipt
of visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and
enticing or coercing a minor to engage in prostitution or any criminal
sexual activity.
He's also accused of using the school district's internet services to
access his Kik account, according to court documents, where investigators
allegedly found hundreds of images of child pornography depicting children
between the ages of 7 and 13.
Last October, Hendrik allegedly began messaging with the undercover Secret
Service agent in a Kik chatroom entitled "Ohio Chastity Key Holders,"
according to the affidavit.
There, he allegedly responded to a chatroom post from the undercover
agent, who was posing as a mother of two daughters, aged 5 and 14.
When the "mother" asked Hedrick if he'd like to have sex with her and her
teenage daughter, Hedrick allegedly responded in the affirmative. He also
allegedly told the agent he'd never slept with someone underage, but had
had relationships with two students after they finished high school, the
affidavit alleges.
In October, Hedrick arranged to meet the agent in a hotel room, but he
didn't show up.
When later questioned about the Kik messages, Hedrick allegedly said he
had "fantasized about having sexual relations with the woman and her 14-
year-old daughter, but qualified the chats as only descriptive fantasies,"
the affidavit says.
Hedrick was put on paid leave from the school district on Oct. 24. In an
email to parents, Medina City Schools Superintendent Aaron Sable wrote,
"We understand charges of this nature are distressing especially in a
school environment involving an educator," the Akron Beacon Journal
reports. "We are thankful for the diligence and collaboration of the FBI,
local police and district administration to ensure our students and staff
remain safe from predators."
However, Hedrick's lawyer, Donald J. Malarcik Jr., told PEOPLE that
Hedrick has resigned as of January 6, and will "never teach again."
Hedrick is currently being held in a federal detention facility in
Youngstown, Ohio, his lawyer says. He has a detention hearing scheduled in
federal court on January 13.
