Shawn Mofle, 41, a Webster City, IOWA teacher arrested in January on child pornography charges, committed suicide in a South Dakota jail where he was being held. He was scheduled to be arraigned today.

While he was investigated originally for videotaping seventh-grade basketball players in the locker room, he was later charged with possesion of and producing child pornography. He also faced sex charges for engaging in oral sex with a minor in 2003, and making videotapes of those acts.
