Longtime Arbor View High School athletic director arrested on child pornography charges

Roger Brown, 54, was booked in the Clark County Detention Center on Tuesday. He is charged with one count of using or permitting a minor 14 or older to produce porn.

Brown was arrested by Clark County School District Police, district spokeswoman Michelle Booth confirmed. It was not clear when and where Brown was arrested.

More details about Brown’s charge were not available Wednesday.

He is being held without bail and is scheduled to appear in court at 7:30 a.m. Thursday.

Besides working as the athletic director at the school since it opened in 2005, Brown is listed as the chairman of the physical education, health, driver’s education and freshman studies department on the school’s website. In 2014, he was named Nevada athletic director of the year.

The Review-Journal reported Wednesday that Brown would step down as athletic director at the end of the school year. Jay Howard, the school’s girls soccer coach, will take over.

Booth said Brown started with the school district in 1989 and is on paid administrative leave.
