Ex-Denton Teacher Pleads Guilty to Child Porn Production

A former North Texas high school journalism teacher faces up to 60 years in federal prison for soliciting teens for child pornography.

Gregory Bogomol of Fort Worth pleaded guilty Wednesday to two counts of production of child pornography.

The 38-year-old Bogomol, who formerly taught at Denton High School, faces sentencing Feb. 12 in Fort Worth.

The investigation began after the parents of a 15-year-old Louisiana boy reported he received suggestive cellphone messages from someone pretending to be a girl.

Prosecutors said Bogomol coerced a boy into sending a sexually explicit image of himself in April. Bogomol coerced another child to also send a suggestive image a few days later.

Bogomol resigned his teaching position shortly before being arrested in May.
