Now comes this: The Troy Athens High School assistant band director is facing federal charges and is accused of participating in an online child pornography community, WXYZ reports.
Eric Junod, a father of two, is accused of sending and receiving child pornography by actively visiting a child pornography bulletin board on a website.
