Former Glendale Unified School District employee and a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, Steven Frasher, was free on bail on Oct. 3 following his arrest in San Bernardino County on suspicion of producing, possessing and disseminating child pornography.
Frasher, 62, of Redlands, was arrested Tuesday by the San Bernardino Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and Specialized Crimes Unit. He worked as GUSD’s public information officer until 2012 when the position was eliminated.
According to police, detectives received an online tip that Frasher was allegedly downloading child pornography images and saving them in an online storage account.
“Additionally, the suspect was found to be in possession of numerous images of child sexual abuse material on his electronic devices,” San Bernardino police said in a statement.
He was booked into jail in San Bernardino County but was released on bail the night of Oct. 3, according to sheriff’s records.
According to Frasher’s LinkedIn page, he has been a public information officer for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works since August 2015. He previously held a similar role with the Riverside Police Department and also worked as an assistant in the Riverside mayor’s office.
