A 29-year-old teacher's aide who lives at home with his mother has been charged by the Delaware County District Attorney's Office with sending 32 pornographic images and eight pornographic videos to a 13-year-old boy from Chester.
Quasim Cunningham of Philadelphia, who was employed by the Philadelphia Opportunities Industrialization Center, met the 13-year-old boy when he was an after-school facilitator at the grade school the victim attended, police said.
Cunningham allegedly began Facebook messaging the boy in Sept. 2012. Along with sending the child dozens of pornographic still images and eight pornographic videos through Facebook, Cunningham also had "numerous sexually explicit conversations" with the boy via Facebook messaging, according to court documents.
The boy's mother contacted police when she discovered the messages and authorities were able to track the sender's IP address to the house where Cunningham lives with his mother in Philadelphia, court documents said.
On Tuesday, investigators confiscated Cunningham's computer and under questioning, Cunningham admitted to sending the images and videos to the child, according to court documents.
