A Canadian teacher accused of stopping in Fredericksburg to meet up with a 13-year-old boy he met online is facing new charges.

Fredericksburg police spokeswoman Natatia Bledsoe says 36-year-old Richard John Doucet has been indicted on 230 counts of possessing and reproducing child pornography.

The charges stem from images found on a compact disc that was seized from Doucet's motel room. He was charged in May with attempting to take indecent liberties with a child and using electronic devices to solicit a child.

Doucet is a private school teacher in the Montreal area. He is accused of having several sexually explicit online conversations with a detective who posed as a 13-year-old boy.

Police say Doucet allegedly arranged the meeting on his return from an education conference in Atlanta.

That is really nasty and messed up that this guy would want a 13 year old kid to do pornography for him if that was my kid then I would sue him for everything that he had.I mean I know that it wasnt a 13 year old man it was a police officer but still what would have happened if it was really a kid then the 13 year old boy could have been raped or molested and thats not anything to play around with.
