A Long Island high school physics teacher was arrested Monday on
child pornography charges after hundreds of images were found on
his Google account, cell phone and laptop, federal officials
said.

Joseph Zanco, 43, a teacher at Massapequa High School, was named
in an indictment unsealed in federal court in Central Islip that
accused him of transportation and possession of child
pornography.

According to federal authorities, Zanco, who is married and has
a 6-year-old child, in April uploaded over 400 computer files
with images of child pornography to his Google account from his
desktop computer at his home in Massapequa.

Almost immediately after this upload was completed, Google
flagged the files, suspended Zanco’s account and notified the
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, authorities
said.

During a subsequent raid of his home, law enforcement found
evidence of the upload to his Google account, and child porn
images on his cell phone and laptop as well, authorities said.

Zanco “is a mandated reporter of crimes against children” in his
role as a teacher, U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghe wrote in a
detention memo.

“Instead of reporting crimes against children, he was
perpetrating crimes against children.”

At his arraignment in federal court in Central Islip, Zanco was
released on $300,000 bond, and ordered held on home detention,
electronic monitoring, and prohibited from using the internet.

If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in jail.
