Anthony Kent Holcombe, 43, a former teacher and coach at Jonesborough Middle School in Jonesborough, Tennessee has been indicted by a federal grand jury on child pornography charges.

The Greenville Sun reports that the three-count indictment alleges that between Feb. 20, 2007, and Feb. 5, 2009, Holcombe distributed child pornography, received child pornography and possessed a computer containing an image of child pornography.

It is alleged that Holcombe’s computer contained over 12,000 images, as well as videos, including bestiality.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Dennis Inman denied bond for Holcombe. The judge indicated that the sheer volume of child pornography involved and the fact Holcombe was a middle school teacher during the time he aggregated his pornography collection precluded bond.

The judge was quoted as saying, “Therefore, I find that there is no condition or combination of conditions which will reasonably assure the appearance of the defendant as required in this proceeding”.

A trial date for Holcombe has been set for June 25 in United States District Court in Greeneville.

Holcombe resigned his position at Jonesborough Middle School and will be detained in federal custody until his trial in U.S. District Court in Greeneville, TN.
