Former CPS middle school teacher gets bond again, no longer listed on jail roster

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A former West Middle School teacher who was arrested for a second time earlier this month is no longer listed on the Boone County Jail roster.

Zachary Hutchinson, of Columbia, is charged with felonies in two cases. In one case, he is charged with three counts of second-degree statutory sodomy, one count of child enticement, sexually exploiting a minor, misdemeanor giving porn to a minor, second-degree promoting child porn and 10 counts of child porn possession.

He was originally put on house arrest after he bonded out of jail on Feb. 4. In a second case filed earlier this month, he is charged with three counts of child porn possession. A court filing from Tuesday says Hutchinson was given a $50,000 bond. He must report to Adult Court Services upon his release, court filings show.

Court documents in previous reporting say Hutchinson engaged in sexual acts with a youth and shared explicit text messages and photos with the same victim.

Authorities have repeatedly said the victim in the case did not meet Hutchinson “as a result of his employment, nor did any known contact occur on school property.”

More child porn was eventually found on a different messaging app, court documents say.

A hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Monday.
