He has been a curriculum coordinator for instrumental music in the Pennsbury School District.

This investigation by the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office began on Dec. 5, after two cybertips were submitted to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Bygott was traced to some of the files by an Amazon account, and he was interviewed by detectives on Dec. 13 at the Pennsbury High School East campus in Falls Township.

A forensic search of his smart phone turned up 2,000 images and videos that depicted sexual acts with children of various ages, according to Bucks County prosecutors.

He surrendered to authorities on Tuesday.

Bygott was arraigned and released on $250,000 unsecured bail — under the conditions that he have no contact with any minors, no internet usage and surrender his passport.
