(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.
