A former high school teacher's aide allegedly shared images of child sexual abuse with two students.

Ryan C. Johnson, 47, of Hopewell Township, Mercer County, is accused of sharing the images through Snapchat in July and August, with students and Cumberland Regional High School.

Johnson worked there during the 2022-23 school year.

He was not associated with the school during the time of the allegations, according to the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office.

He was briefly employed at the Bridgeton High School this fall. Johnson also worked at Hopewell Crest Elementary School between September of 2019 and June of 2022.

The investigation is ongoing.

He is in the Cumberland County Correctional Facility pending a detention hearing.
