"In December 2024, DeWitte, a former music teacher at Buckingham Browne & Nichols School in Cambridge, allegedly uploaded child sexual abuse material showing the abuse of a young boy on his Snapchat account, prosecutors said. Snapchat records allegedly show that DeWitte requested nude photos from multiple minors, sent sexually explicit photos to minors, and offered to pay another Snapchat user to obtain and produce child pornography, officials said."
"In conversations on Telegram, an encrypted messaging app, DeWitte and Tisoy allegedly discussed the "production of videos depicting the sexual exploitation of minor boys in the Philippines," the press release said. DeWitte allegedly paid Tisoy for each video Tisoy produced and sent, allegedly paying nearly $24,000, prosecutors said. Both DeWitte's and Tisoy's attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment."
