A Foxborough teacher was charged Monday with possession of child pornography.

Gregg Woodward, 45, of Milford, is a teacher at Foxborough High School. He was arrested Monday morning after he was accused of paying to view child pornography online, according to United States Attorney Michael J. Sullivan.

Agents assigned to the FBI, Innocent Images Unit and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Cyber Crimes Unit, have been conducting undercover transactions in an effort to identify and gain access to Web sites purportedly distributing child pornography.

According to the affidavit in support of the arrest warrant, the undercover transactions revealed that Woodward allegedly purchased access to at least two Web sites that distribute child pornography.

Woodward was accused of paying $99.99 for a 30-day subscription to The Sick Child Room on June 21, 2007. Officials allege that Woodward also paid $94.95 for a 30-day subscription to RH Collection.

Woodward appeared in U.S. District Court Monday morning and is scheduled for a probable cause and detention hearing on April 2.

He has been a teacher at Foxborough High School for 12 years. Officials said Woodward has been suspended without pay.

If convicted on the current charges, Woodward faces a maximum penalty of 10 years incarceration to be followed by three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.
