Investigation and arrest
(Warning: Some may find the following details disturbing.)
Court documents revealed that Innmon had more than 365,000 images of child sex abuse on several devices, including on his iPhone and a portable hard drive.
According to an affidavit, he reportedly took photos of several 10-year-old students at Baranoff Elementary School, then used AI to render explicit images of the children.
Upon a search of his home, the teacher reportedly admitted to downloading child pornography on his devices.
Innmon was placed on administrative leave on March 11 after AISD learned of an investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), and he was arrested the following day after “files of interest” were reportedly found in his possession.
The teacher was placed in the Travis County Jail but has since been let out on bond.
