"Maurice Bush was placed in a very sensitive position with children, and he violated that trust," Pickell said during a news conference today.
"This kind of guy is a dangerous person."
Bush has been charged with furnishing obscenity to children and willful neglect of duty. He faces 90 days in jail and/or a $500 fine on the first charge and up to 1 year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine on he second charge.
