SOMERVILLE (CBS) -- A fifth grade teacher in Cambridge is facing federal child pornography charges.
Josh Wairi, 27, of Somerville, was arrested at his home on Thursday after an extensive investigation.
According to an affidavit by a Postal Inspector with the United States Postal Inspection Service, the investigation started in July 2013, after AOL reported an email exchange involving suspected child pornography.
Police were able to identify Wairi by linking the email address to his computer I.P. address. Investigators say they found evidence during a search that Wairi had traded and received hundreds of images and videos of child pornography.
During an interview with authorities, they say he admitted to downloading and trading videos and images of children being sexually exploited.
Wairi also admitted to secretly videotaping children changing in and out of clothes on more than one occasion, and to setting up a hidden video camera in a locker room in order to videotape children changing, according to authorities.
It's unclear where those alleged incidents took place.
Wairi also allegedly told officials that he has posted an advertisement on Craigslist offering his babysitting services.
