After being accused of attempting to coerce and entice a minor, a senior instructor at an early education institution in Northwest Washington, D.C., finds himself in hot water with the police. The head of school, James S. Carroll, 55, appeared in court for the first time since his arrest on November 19, according to FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge David Geist and U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves.
Carroll thought he was speaking with a parent who was prepared to take advantage of their child at his command, so he became involved in an undercover operation that used the Discord messaging program. The allegations surfaced over a troubling two-week period from November 5, 2024, to November 14, 2024, according to the criminal complaint. “Over a period of approximately two weeks,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office stated in a statement, “Carroll directed the undercover officer to abuse his child.”
The Metropolitan Police Department’s assistance and the FBI’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force’s investigative work were essential in identifying the IP addresses connected to Carroll’s online interactions. The link between Carroll and the offending Discord account was confirmed by these traces, which led back to his home and workplace.
Carroll’s case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Shinskie, and law enforcement is still closely monitoring it. Officials urge the public to stay alert and contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI to report any indications of child exploitation.
