Overview
- Federal prosecutors said Friday a grand jury in the Eastern District of Texas returned a two-count indictment against Kyle Lee Roy Francis, 24, of Denton.
- The indictment alleges his iPhone contained at least three videos of child pornography, including two showing sexual abuse of prepubescent children.
- Court records state he remains in federal custody and he faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
- Northwest ISD says Francis taught art at Lance Thompson Elementary from August 2024 to January 14, 2026, resigned after the district learned of the probe, and a forensic check of his district devices found no inappropriate content.
- Prosecutors say the investigation is part of Project Safe Childhood and was led by Homeland Security Investigations’ Dallas Child Exploitation Group, and district officials report no allegations involve Northwest ISD students.
