Former private school employee arrested on child pornography charges

MANSFIELD, Texas – A former private school employee is facing charges for allegedly possessing child pornography.

Police arrested 45-year-old Jeremy Henrickson at a home in Mansfield on Wednesday morning.

Henrickson worked for Newman International Academy, with locations in Arlington, Cedar Hill, Fort Worth, Mansfield and Watauga.

He is still listed as an IT manager on the NIA website.

The school system’s police department said he and several other employees were fired over the summer pending an unrelated and ongoing criminal investigation.

According to NIA police, no NIA students were involved and the alleged crimes did not occur on school premises.
