Middletown school leader charged with sharing child sex abuse material to messaging app
How child sex abuse is affecting Delaware kids, families
How prevalent is child sexual abuse, and what are potential warning signs?
Hannah Edelman, Delaware Online
A Middletown school administrator was arrested after state prosecutors say he uploaded child sexual abuse material online to a messaging app.
The Delaware Department of Justice announced 25 felony charges involving possession of child sexual abuse material against 43-year-old Justin Smith, the head of school at St. Anne’s Episcopal School since July of 2024. The Justice Department said Friday night that they have “no indication” at this time that Smith’s crimes are linked to his role at the school.
Still, they noted St. Anne’s − a self-described independent school serving grades preschool through eighth, according to its website − is “fully cooperating” with the investigation.
Attorney General Kathy Jennings called the evidence “shocking and abhorrent” in a written statement Friday, noting that Smith’s job put him in a position of trust with children.
Smith’s charges do not involve contacting a child, according to the DOJ, and there are no victims affiliated with the school or community at this time.
Because of Smith’s job, however, the state is asking the public to come forward with any information they may have in this case. Anyone with information can contact the Delaware Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force at (302) 739-2030.
What prompted the investigation of Justin Smith?
Investigators from the state Department of Justice and Delaware State Police, as part of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, received multiple CyberTips from Kik Messenger warnings, according to the Justice Department. The warnings indicated that social media accounts belonging to Smith had uploaded child sexual abuse material from an IP address belonging to Smith.
The tips prompted investigators to execute search warrants on the social media accounts, the state said, which found more child sexual abuse material.
Smith was arraigned and taken to Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on $625,000 cash bail.

Thomas Jefferson University to run Delaware’s first medical school
Thomas Jefferson University is opening a regional campus of its Sidney Kimmel Medical College in Delaware, an effort that will result in the state’s first medical school.
Jefferson beat out three other bidders to establish the four-year program in partnership with the state. The other bidders were the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, the consulting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Ponce Health Sciences University in Puerto Rico, Spotlight Delaware reported.

The inaugural class of 40 medical students will begin instruction in July 2028. Initially, the campus will be based at the University of Delaware in Newark, with Jefferson faculty providing instruction. A permanent home for the campus is still being finalized, the Inquirer reported.
The medical students will receive 18 months of preclinical training on campus before receiving clinical training from healthcare providers in Delaware’s southern counties, where the state’s physician shortage is most deeply felt. That shortage is compounded by an aging population, Delaware officials said.
“Jefferson is committed to being part of the solution to Delaware’s physician shortage,” Jefferson CEO Dr. Joseph Cacchione said in a statement. “We are proud to help build a future where every Delawarean has access to the care they deserve. Jefferson is all in.”
The school’s creation is being supported by $157.4 million from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Delaware is one of three states without a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program. Since the late 1960s, Jefferson and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine have reserved seats for Delaware students.
“Sidney Kimmel Medical College has trained generations of physicians for more than 200 years, more than any other medical college in the country,” Said Ibrahim, dean of Sidney Kimmel Medical College, said in a statement. “It is a privilege to bring our mission to Delaware’s patients and communities.”
Jefferson has announced several expansions recently. The university is establishing a full-time doctor of nursing practice-nurse anesthesia program and several online graduate programs at the Lehigh Valley Health Network Center for Healthcare Education in Lehigh County. It also is opening a satellite respiratory therapy lab at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Allentown.
