Pearce was stunned when his first-grade [special needs] son was accused of distributing pornography to his class last week. By the time he was notified, his son had already undergone extensive questioning, and the Assistant Principal had already filed a sexual harassment complaint with the district liaison.

Classmates walked by his desk, they caught a glimpse of the video. “He didn't make anyone watch this video. He made this video at home, not in school. He made it months before he brought his tablet to school,” Pearce said. “He was sitting at a table watching it because he thought it was funny and some kids overlooking his shoulder saw it and one told the teacher who brought it to the principal's attention.” Pearce said he was contacted by school principal Jason Bissinger and told that his son “showed an inappropriate video of himself to a number of students" and would receive a 1 day suspension. In addition, Bissinger told the father that his son would be removed from his class because he was no longer permitted to speak with students who had seen the video.
