Dr. Brett Jacobsen, the CEO of Mount Vernon School, released a statement to Channel 2 Action News on Thursday evening that read:

This morning, we were informed by law enforcement that Chief Financial Officer, Chris Winslow, was arrested on very disturbing charges. We understand that the charges include sexual exploitation of a minor.

Law enforcement has assured us that there is no indication that any of our students or other employees were involved. This is devastating news for everyone, and we are committed to supporting law enforcement's investigation however we can.

The safety and well-being of our students is our most important priority, and for that reason, Mr. Winslow, will no longer be part of our School community moving forward.

Due to the ongoing investigation of this matter, we have no further comment at this time.

—  Dr. Brett Jacobsen

Winslow is being held in the Fulton County Jail.
