The head master of one of the most exclusive schools in the US has been arrested on child pornography charges. Christopher Wheeler faces 25 counts of child porn after a search of his Tower Hill school campus home and office in Delaware, and his private plane. The 53-year-old, who is also accused of abusing underage boys, turned himself in after police asked for the public's help in finding him. The unmarried head teacher, who adopted a boy from a Russia in the 2000s, had not been heard of since moving out of the school after the October 22 investigation. The headmaster, who presided over Tower Hill's 750 pupils aged 3 to 18, was missing for two days. A search of his house, office and private plane last month allegedly uncovered 25 explicit digital images of men engaged in sexual acts with young boys.
