The Laurel School District issued a statement announcing the arrest of the Superintendent’s son for allegedly possessing child pornography.
The statement reads:
The Laurel School District was contacted by law enforcement on June 12, 2024, regarding legal proceedings involving a former employee, Colin Larrimore, the 21-year-old son of our Superintendent, Dr. Shawn Larrimore. The individual is facing serious charges related to the possession of illegal digital materials.
Upon being informed of this matter by law enforcement, the district immediately reported the incident to the Department of Education. Mr. Larrimore resigned from his position on June 13, 2024, and we promptly informed the Department of Education of his resignation on June 17, 2024. Employment action was handled swiftly and without preferential treatment, despite his familial connection to the Superintendent.
Mr. Larrimore’s employment with the district was limited to work within the Information Technology (IT) department, and the alleged activities took place solely through digital communication using his personal cell phone.
We wish to assure our community that law enforcement officials have confirmed the following:
• There are no allegations of any physical contact or digital contact with Laurel School District students
• No Laurel School District technology, networks, or devices were involved in the alleged activities
The safety and well-being of our students remain our highest priority. The district is fully cooperating with law enforcement.
Larrimore was arrested on Friday, August 16th, over two months after the school was informed by police. He is currently being held at Sussex Correctional Institution in Georgetown on $625,000 bond.
