A former middle school teacher already facing child pornography possession charges was allegedly caught peeking inside a youth hockey team’s locker room during a tournament in Wisconsin on Monday.
Adam Teal was arrested for a second time in less than a year at the Woodman’s Sports and Convention Center in Janesville, Wisconsin on Monday morning.
Teal, 33, was allegedly seen walking into a locker room where several boys were changing. When he was nabbed by police, he admitted to entering the locker room, according to a criminal complaint obtained by WMTV.
He appeared in Rock County court on Tuesday and was slapped with a $25,000 bond on a charge for jumping bail.
Teal is a former sixth-grade teacher at Franklin Middle School in Janesville. He was canned in October 2025 when he was charged with a staggering 10 counts of child pornography possession.
The numbskull educator allegedly walked right into a trap set up by a special agent with the Department of Homeland Security.
The two chatted on the messaging platform Kik, where the agent posed as a father with an 8-year-old daughter.
Teal openly expressed interest in “incest and young” and even boasted about his sexual attraction to his nieces, which he refrained from acting on because they were “too young,” as alleged in a criminal complaint obtained by WKOW.
He bought into the agent’s cover and asked for pictures of his daughter, then allegedly shared a photo of one of his own students he claimed he took at work, according to the complaint.
“If I had my way I’d have one of them under my desk,” Teal wrote in reference to the picture of his student.
At some point during their chats, Teal shared a photo of his naked wife in the shower and admitted that she didn’t know he captured or sent it, according to the complaint.
Teal was first arrested in early September.
His school placed him on paid administrative leave — until the child pornography charges were formally filed a month later. He was originally arrested on a charge of capturing an intimate representation without consent for the picture of his wife he allegedly shared.
His bond was reduced from $100,000 to $10,000 on March 18, and he was released from custody that same day, WMTV reported.
Teal has a preliminary hearing scheduled for June 22. He also has a calendar call on July 27 for the child pornography case.
