WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The FBI is seeking a Florida middle school teacher who authorities say produced and received child pornography.

The Palm Beach Post reports (http://bit.ly/2nz0Jd5 ) Thursday that Corey Perry disappeared last Friday shortly after the FBI searched his West Palm Beach home.

FBI spokesman Michael Leverock said the case has national implications. Palm Beach County Schools Superintendent Robert Avossa would not say if any of the child victims attend Howell L. Watkins Middle School, where the 33-year-old Perry teaches computer science. He did say some of the identified victims attend Palm Beach County schools.

Perry was recently nominated for a countywide award for science, technology, engineering and math teachers and in 2012 received a letter of commendation from Gov. Rick Scott.
