Mt. Zion Christian School
Arrested and charged
What we know:
Clement was arrested on Tuesday. A criminal complaint explains an investigation began after Microsoft reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that nude images of kids had been uploaded to a OneDrive account associated with Clement. The complaint says a total of five photos with naked children were uploaded to that OneDrive in early April.
A video of the 76-year-old teacher explains he started at the Mt. Zion Christian School in 1986 and was the first principal there. The video has now been removed from the website. A lead pastor at Mt. Zion released a statement saying he was most recently a part-time staff member and church elder.
He posted a $25,000 bond yesterday. FOX6 News stopped by his Burlington home today.
What they're saying:
"I've worked with kids for 40 years, never a problem, so." Clement said.
He declined to comment any further than that.
