A Louisiana teacher was indicted this week after allegedly sending lewd messages to a girl in Massachusetts.
BOSTON - A Louisiana high school teacher is facing charges after a Massachusetts mother allegedly found obscene texts from him on her 11-year-old daughter's iPad, court documents show.
Logan Procell, 23, of Noble, Louisiana, was indicted for coercion and enticement as well as transfer of obscene material to minors in U.S. District Court in Boston on Thursday.
Procell was arrested Sept. 22 by authorities in Sabine Parish, Louisiana, following an investigation into the messages allegedly sent to the Massachusetts girl.
Authorities have not stated from which Massachusetts community the girl and her mother are from.
Prior to being arrested, Procell was a chemistry teacher at Logansport High School in Noble, documents show. He resigned his position in September following the arrest.
The texts between the girl and Procell spanned a period from August 8 to September 15, 2017, investigators found.
Authorities say Procell sent the girl lewd messages, including obscene pictures.
Police partially identified Procell through selfies he had sent to the girl, one of which showed him wearing a lanyard for the high school he worked at.
