An investigation into Bell started last December following a tip the sheriff’s office received regarding “possible inappropriate behavior with a student while he was coaching track at La Plata High School,” according to WUSA 9.
Bell was removed from the school and cut from his position as a coach immediately upon the start of the investigation, according to investigators.
Investigators did not find anything suspicious on Bell’s work computer but found “data linking him to the production of child pornography” on his personal computer.
