GROVE CITY, Pa. - A Grove City man who previously taught hearing-impaired students has learned his fate after being sentenced on child sexual abuse material charges.

According to a press release, 41-year-old Michael Boston was sentenced to seven years in prison followed by 10 years of probation for violating federal law regarding the sexual exploitationof a minor.

Boston's case stems from an incident in October of 2022, as well as two other dates in 2023, when Boston uploaded child sexual abuse material to a cloud-based server.

According to the release, Boston possessed more than 1,500 pictures and videos across seven different electronic devices containing child sexual abuse material.

Many of those images and videos depicted toddlers and even infants as young as two to three months old. Additionally, some files featured acts of bestiality and blindfolded children tied to objects.

Boston was previously employed by an intermediate unit as a teacher for hearing-impaired students. He'd travel to various schools across nine counties in Pennsylvania to work with hearing-impaired children between pre-kindergarten and 12th grade.
