AVON, Ind. (WISH) — A former music teacher in Avon schools faces charges after police say he exchanged graphic sexual videos and pictures with underage girls on social media.

Online court records show Kayvon Emtiaz, 28, was arrested Thursday and released on bond Monday.

Avon police say they received a CyberTip in early September that contained suggestive pictures and video Emtiaz shared on two Snapchat accounts.

Officers say one of the videos appears to show Emtiaz pleasuring himself in a music classroom, though it was unclear exactly where the video was taken.

Detectives also reviewed several messages exchanged between Emtiaz and at least two underage girls. Investigators didn’t say the girls were students at Avon.

When speaking with police in November, Emtiaz admitted to having sexual conversations with underage girls through his Snapchat, but did not remember the conversations exactly. He also claimed he only saved pictures of girls who were “of age.”

Emtiaz faces 14 charges relating to possession of child pornography, child solicitation, and vicarious sexual gratification.

Payroll records show that Emtiaz worked at three schools in the Avon district from 2019 and 2022.

A Department of Education search shows he held a vocal and general music teaching license that expired in August.

Avon Schools shared the following information about Emtiaz’s employment.

We were notified by Avon Police that an individual who was employed as a teacher from November 2019 to December 2022 and who then continued as an extra-curricular activity coach in our choir and theatre program was arrested on two felony charges. We are unaware of any allegations connecting these charges and Avon students. We immediately terminated his extra-curricular activity involvement and revoked his access to our facilities. We cannot comment on any pending status given the open law enforcement investigation. 

Mr. Emtiaz’s full-time employment dates at Avon Schools are as follows: 

• White Oak Elementary – Nov. 2019-May 2021 
• Avon Intermediate School West – Jul. 2021-Mar. 2022
