SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The principal of All Saints Elementary said in a statement Tuesday that the FBI may be contacting parents of students regarding photos that could be connected with a federal investigation into a part-time aide at the school.
Principal Rosalie Pollman also said she is praying for the parents of the aide, Emily Oberst, “who are being told of other crimes their daughter has (allegedly) committed.”
Oberst, who was fired by the school, was arrested over the weekend for allegedly allowing a 40-year-old man, Jason Kopp, to exploit a 16-month-old girl. Oberst, 23, of Syracuse, and Kopp, of Liverpool, were charged this weekend with sexual exploitation of a child and distribution of child pornography.
Pollman would not say anything further about what the photos were or what they might have depicted or what “other crimes” Oberst may have committed. She said she could not comment because of an ongoing investigation and stressed that she was speaking as an individual and not on behalf of the elementary school.
