sun-sentinel.com, 03/27/07
A third-grade teacher was arrested at his home for transmitting child pornography via computer, police said on Tuesday. Michael A. Postma, 26, was booked at the Broward County Jail on 38 charges of transmission of child pornography by electronic device, promoting sexual performance by a child, and possession of child pornography.
He was arrested on Monday after a federal search warrant was served at his house, police said. Plantation police, the FBI and the Internet Crimes Against Children South Florida Task Force, or LEACH, said photos saved on Postma's seized computer hard drive contained child pornography.
Postma works as a third grade teacher at Oakland Park Elementary, police said. The case unraveled when an undercover detective notified Plantation Police that he had posed as a minor and had chatted with Postma via the Internet since December 2006.
