WARREN, Ohio - A former substitute teacher at Liberty High School will wait several more months before undergoing trial for charges relating to child pornography. 

Thirty-two-year-old Michael Mattocks was first arrested in December of 2017. He was later released from jail after paying $500. 

On Wednesday a judge ordered that the trial against Mattocks will begin on April 1st, 2019. 

He's facing 10 felony charges, including some accusing him of encouraging female students to send nude photos of themselves to him.

The official charges are Illegal Use of A Minor In Nudity-Oriented Material or Performance and Pandering Sexually-Oriented Matter Involving A Minor.

According to prosecutors, Mattocks encouraged students ages 15 and 16 to send him nude photos of themselves.  In one case the young girl was seen nude on a bed spread eagle with stuffed animals nearby.

In addition, investigators say Mattocks also had nude pictures of young children they believe were obtained from the internet, some engaged in a sex act with an adult male.

Substitutes teachers like all teachers are screened with FBI and BCI background checks, but districts have to keep watch to make sure they don't go astray after they're hired.  

In this case, a student voiced concerns to the principal.
