JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A former Jacksonville teacher accused of sending explicit images of young children to an undercover agent online pleaded guilty Friday.

Action News Jax first reported in March that Jeremy Clark was arrested after FBI agents raided his Ponte Vedra home. Clark was a teacher at First Coast High School at the time of his arrest.

Action News Jax reached out to Duval County Public Schools to check his employment status.

DCPS sent the following statement:

"As an annual contract employee, Mr. Clark's employment with the district ended in early June. The district did not renew his employment contract and has referred this matter to the Florida Department of Education Professional Practices Commission. Please note that Mr. Clark has not returned to the district since the day of his arrest."

Agents began investigating Clark in February after he responded to a message on an internet bulletin using the username LLcooljack1973.

Investigators say under the name Jack Crow, he messaged an online covert employee (OCE) on the messenger app Kik.

“Interested in incest?” they say Clark wrote. “Wanna share?”

“What ages are you into?” the OCE responded.

“8-12,” Clark said.

Later, the OCE wrote, “Were you active with someone special?”

Clark replied, “Yes Student.”

Clark has been in custody since his arrest.

He faces up to 20 years in prison.
