Seattle Police arrested a Snoqualmie man and former substitute teacher in the Snoqualmie Valley School District Thursday on child pornography charges.

Sean C. Clark was charged Friday, June 3, with dealing and possessing child pornography.

“This is a very serious and disturbing allegation,” said Snoqualmie Valley School District Superintendent Joel Aune. “The district shares the concerns that parents understandably may have regarding this individual. While there has been no indication that any of our students were put in harm’s way, we encourage parents to contact the police if they have any concerns after speaking with their children.”

Parents who have concerns or may have helpful information regarding the allegations involving Clark should contact Seattle Police Department Internet Crimes Detective Danial Conine, via email at danial.conine@seattle.gov.

Snoqualmie Valley is among at least four school districts that received this notification, since Clark had worked in many different schools. District records show that Clark substitute-taught on 16 separate occasions this year at Cascade View, North Bend, Opstad, and Snoqualmie Elementary Schools. The district has taken action to prevent Clark from teaching in the district ever again and is working with law enforcement. Three other area school districts, Tahoma, Kent and Enumclaw have also been notified of Clark’s arrest.
