A former Underwood Elementary School teacher facing numerous child porn charges reportedly took photos of his students while he was teaching in Newton, CBS Boston reported last night.

According to the CBS Boston story, the Middlesex County District Attorney's office confirmed that David Ettlinger took the photos at the school. The DA also said the photos were not pornographic in nature and therefore, Ettlinger will not face criminal charges for those classroom photos. 

Police reportedly called in parents to confirm that their children were in the photos found in Ettlinger's apartment. 

Ettlinger, 34, faces allegations of possession child pornography, indecent assault and battery and other related charges. Authorities have said that none of his victims were Newton students. 

"I am very upset to hear the disturbing news about the pictures of Underwood students," Superintendent David Fleishman said Tuesday. "I can only imagine the feelings of those parents whose students were photographed. We will continue to do everything possible to support the Underwood community."

Ettlinger was initially arrested at his Brighton home on Jan. 17 and arraigned in Brighton District Court on multiple counts of possession of child pornography. He was arraigned on Jan. 18 in West Roxbury District Court for indecent assault and battery charges, and held on $100,000 bail. 

On Feb. 8, Ettlinger was indicted in Middlesex County and subsequently arraigned in Middlesex Superior Court. He was held on $50,000 bail for charges related to a girl he allegedly assaulted while babysitting. 

At a pretrial conference in Brighton on Feb. 16, authorities said Ettlinger is likely to be indicted in Suffolk County as well. 

Ettlinger also faces federal charges for his involvement with the child pornography website "Dreamboard."

Ettlinger taught in the Newton Public Schools for 12 years, at both Peirce and Underwood Elementary. He resigned from his teaching position on Jan. 31.
