29-year-old Jason Baldwin pleaded guilty in August to one count of receipt of child pornography.
Baldwin was a teacher at Dallas' Hockaday School. He was terminated from Hockaday in August of 2020 after he was arrested on child pornography charges.

In a federal indictment, the FBI said Baldwin used a PayPal account linked to the school campus to buy videos of underage boys and while searching his apartment he confessed to investigators to owning “hundreds” of images and videos of child pornography.
Baldwin was ordered to report to the Bureau of Prisons on April 6.
