Jason Garant Perkins, 38, a former social studies teacher at Woods Charter School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina has been charged with 10 felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Perkins came to the attention of authorities when he allegedly solicited an undercover officer online on Febuary 13.

Following his arrest Perkins was released on a $250,000 bond conditioned upon his not having contact with anyone under the age of 18 without supervision.
Perkins resigned from the school one day before charges were filed.
