BURRILLVILLE, R.I.—A Rhode Island man who was a substitute math and science teacher in Burrillville and Coventry has been arrested after police allegedly found child pornography on his home computer.

Police say on Friday they searched Justin Menoche's home after he allegedly posed as a 16-year-old boy on Facebook and arranged a meeting with a girl.

The girl's parents notified police after they learned about the alleged meeting. Police said there was no sexual contact between the two.

The 23-year-old Menoche, who lives with his parents in Burrillville, now faces charges including enticement of children and possessing child pornography.

Menoche entered no plea in a district court arraignment and was released on $20,000 personal recognizance.
