(file/NewsWorks)
Former Delaware private school headmaster Christopher Wheeler was found guilty on Monday of 25 counts of dealing child pornography.
The 54-year-old is the former headmaster of Tower Hill School, an elite private school in Wilmington.
Wheeler was arrested in November of 2013 after detectives with Delaware’s Child Predator Task Force recovered multiple images of child pornography on computers located in Wheeler’s home and office.
Wheeler waived his right to a trial by jury and underwent a bench trial before Superior Court Judge Eric Davis.
He faces a minimum of 50 years in jail when he is sentenced in March.
