Child Porn Charges for Wynonna Judds Nanny

A 27-year-old teaching assistant who was employed by country singer Wynonna Judd to home-school her 14-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter was arrested Tuesday on child pornography charges after investigators found more than 3,000 image files featuring young boys in sexually explicit acts on his computer.

Scott Z. Myers also admitted in an online chat room to engaging in sexual activity with four boys who lived nearby in Franklin, Tenn., according to a report in The Tennessean. Myers was seen leaving his apartment last Wednesday with two young boys when authorities showed up with a search warrant.

Judd fired Myers immediately after he was arrested and issued a statement of thanks to federal and local authorities for making the community a safer place.

Myers had been employed as a teacher's assistant at Freedom Intermediate School from August 2006 until this past May.

This is the second time someone close to Judd has been arrested for inappropriate sexual behavior involving a minor. In 2007, the Grammy winner divorced her second husband, D.R. Roach, after he was indicted on three counts of aggravated sexual battery of a minor.
