In a statement, district leaders said Harmon’s job did not involve direct interaction with students.
According to the district, “There is no evidence to suggest any of our students have been affected; however, we continue to work with law enforcement and encourage anyone with information to come forward.”
According to court documents, Harmon allegedly sent 18 files of child sexual abuse material to a person in the United Kingdom in January of 2025. Investigators say the material was shared through an encrypted messaging app.
The investigation began after U.K. authorities arrested a man on child exploitation allegations in 2025 and reviewed messages on his phone. Investigators say those messages led them to Harmon in Utah and referred the case to U.S. authorities.
Harmon was arrested on Sept. 11 and made his initial appearance in court Wednesday. His next hearing is Sept. 22 before 4th District Judge Denise Porter.
He is being held in the Utah County Jail without bail.
