School employee charged with possessing child pornography in Bradenton

Timothy C. Glover, an employee at Bradenton’s Haile Middle School, is facing 13 counts of child pornography possession, according to a news release from the Bradenton Police Department.

The investigation began with a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children on March 26, which resulted in a search warrant and a review of Glover’s home computer, according to the release.

“The computer was seized for further examination, and on a later date, numerous images depicting child pornography with children ranging from the ages of six to thirteen were located on the computer,” it states.

Glover, 57, works at Haile Middle, 9501 State Road 64 W., in Bradenton, as a ”physical education tech,” the release continues.

Authorities said Glover faces 13 charges, but booking information on the Manatee County jail website listed only a dozen.

Police arrested Glover on Thursday. He was being held without bond at the jail.
