Chicago Teacher Charged With Child Porn

A Chicago high school teacher, 42-year-old Thomas Neal, faces federal charges after authorities discovered hundreds of child pornography files on his phone during a flight from O’Hare to Mexico City. Border agents flagged him upon arrival, seized his devices, and returned him to Houston, where Homeland Security confirmed the disturbing content. Neal, who taught in Illinois’ northern district, now faces a mandatory minimum of five years—and up to 20 years—in prison for transporting child pornography. He’s currently in federal custody with a detention hearing scheduled for Monday in Chicago. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
