SAN LEANDRO -- A San Leandro High School teacher is facing criminal charges after authorities found child pornography on a school computer.
The investigation began after the teacher mistakenly showed students a nude photograph of himself, authorities said Monday.
Richard Styner, 45, of San Leandro, has been charged with possession of child pornography and first-degree residential burglary, according to the Alameda County District Attorney's Office.
Authorities say Styner was teaching a computer class at the high school on April 16 when he allegedly displayed a naked picture of himself on a video screen during a class presentation on how to transfer pictures from electronic devices. His students range in age from 14 to 18.
Styner reported the incident to the school's administration, who called police, San Leandro police Lt. Randall Brandt said. A subsequent search of a school computer found photographs and more than 200 pornographic stories, court documents show. In one story, a 14-year-old girl has sex with her brother, according to court papers, and it includes a photograph of a nude female who appears to be under the age of 18.
Styner is facing a first-degree residential burglary charge for entering a friend's home while she was out of town in October 2012, according to a probable cause statement filed with the court. Styner had a key for emergency purposes.
Authorities say he set out the woman's

underwear, running pants and other items from her dresser and photographed them. He also allegedly had altered photographs of the woman's face on naked bodies, records show.
San Leandro Unified School District Superintendent Cindy Cathey said in a statement that Styner has been placed on unpaid administrative leave. The district is cooperating with police and prosecutors and is conducting its own investigation, Cathey said.
Styner, who was not taken into custody, has been sent a notice to appear in Alameda County Superior Court for arraignment next week and has cooperated with police, Brandt said. Styner could not be reached for comment Monday.

Why didn't the school just fire him?

What is the point of putting him on unpaid administrative leave?

Even if the charges are dropped he won't be able to work in any school.
 
I am assuming that the "photographs" they found were of under age children? There is no mention of that being the case though. Otherwise dude showed his class a naked pic of himself. Had porn on a school computer. Read porn stories of underage girls and broke in and photographed some woman's clothes

Sounds like fired from job and breaking and entering unless the photographs are of children

the story of the underage, 14 year old girl that has sex with her brother also had a picture that was of a nude girl that appeared to be under the age of 18. that is probably why he was arrested. also, he went into his "friend's" house while she wasn't there and photographed her clothes and underwear without her permission. she had given him a key, but it was for emergencies only. this is where the burglary charges stem from.

But again girl who appears to be underage. And he had a key so he may get out of that charge partially.
 
Creep to the 25th power. I'm sure if they keep digging, they'll find more stuff.
 
[TobiasFunke]The evidence is being guarded, so I'll have to do a bit of a reach-around to get my hands on those stories. But something inside me really wants to feel where this guy was coming from[/TobiasFunke]
