from www.myfoxla.com – A Los Angeles high school athletic director and dean of discipline was arrested on suspicion of distributing child pornography after pictures and videos were found at his home, police said today.

Bradley Ratcliff, 53, who worked at West Adams Preparatory High School in the Pico-Union area of Los Angeles, was arrested Feb. 2 at his home, where a search turned up “numerous child pornography images and videos containing male victims,” police said.

“At this time, LAPD investigators do not have any evidence that the images/videos Ratcliff was in possession of are of current or former students,” police said.

Ratcliff was placed on administrative leave from the school, which is under the management of the nonprofit MLA Partner Schools, which chooses employees who are then formally hired by the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Ratcliff was also the former head varsity football coach for the 2008 and 2009 seasons, police said.

He is free on $20,000 bail, pending a court hearing on Feb. 25, according to the sheriff’s department.
