A Ventura County man who was a former school music teacher has been arrested on child pornography charges. Federal prosecutors say John Zeretzke of Ventura created, and received child pornography. He’s facing five criminal counts. Prosecutors say the 60 year old man was a contract music teacher with multiple school districts in Southern California. They say none of his victims were from the region. If convicted of all of the charges, Zeretzke could potentially face life in prison.
