Child Porn Charge Against VT Teacher Dropped

Posted: Updated:
BENNINGTON, Vt. -

   (AP) - Federal prosecutors have dismissed child pornography charges against a former Vermont elementary school teacher.

The Bennington Banner says prosecutors filed a motion in U.S. District Court District to dismiss their case against 34-year-old John Dockum on Friday.

Dockum was initially charged by the state with five felony counts of possession of child pornography, to which he pleaded not guilty in February. The state dismissed its charges, allowing federal prosecutors to review the case. He was never formally indicted.

Dockum was fired by the Bennington School District in February. He had taught at Monument Elementary School since 2009.
