It is alleged that Long used his cell phone to show three female students a photo of his penis. It is further alleged that he also showed one of the girls a video of him committing a sex act on himself.

Long came to the attention of authorities in November of last year when the girls reported Long’s alleged acts to Salisbury Police.

Long was arraigned today and was released on $15,000 bail and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for this month.

KidsPeace, a home for troubled youths, has closed its Salisbury Township school and laid off more than 20 teachers. Earlier the state Department of Public Welfare closed Pennsylvania admissions at KidsPeace after seven youths suffered broken bones while being restrained by counselors.
