(September 21, 2008)--A former assistant band director at a San Antonio high school has been charged with possession of child pornography after the FBI found about 27,000 images and a thousand video clips of child pornography in his home, U.S. Attorney Ray Jahn said.

Dennis Joseph Jasso will remain jailed at least until a bond hearing Wednesday.

Jasso, 34, was indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday on two counts of distributing child pornography and one count of possessing it.

One of Jasso's lawyers, Bobby Barrera, said he had not received any of the evidence and that, in some cases, those in the images might turn out to be of legal age.

Jasso taught at Sam Houston from August 2006 through May 2007, and was an assistant band director.

He isn't suspected of any improprieties involving any of the students.

Distributing child pornography carries a punishment of five years to 20 years in prison.

Possessing it is punishable by as much as 10 years in prison.

Give this person the maximum sentence that he can receive. Show no pity. He knew what he was doing. These vulnerable children had no choice.

If the criminal was a woman, they would give her 30 days home confinement, no probation, no registration....but this is a male...he's gonna be nailed (in more ways than one) and sent to prison for years. I wonder, do the cops and judge and DA would "hook-up" with a female regularly for "special supervision"? I bet that's why good looking females sex predators don't go to prison. Don't believe me? Look at the sentences given to good looking teachers who are caught "teaching" their male students their version of "sex education". I've notice that the lesbian teachers and male teachers are hit hard with tough long sentences. I wonder what's up with that? Let's see now.... Good looking female teachers get little sentences, and all sorts of excuses are believed or made for them (they were confused or ect.) Lesbian teachers get tough sentences and no probation. Male teachers are given tougher sentences and no probation. Sounds like a system to me! Someone is doing someone favors.
