A Jamestown High School teacher has been arrested over allegations he sent sexually explicit text messages to two students.

Pennsylvania State Police in Mercer County said Kevin A. Defrancesco, 28, was taken into custody and is in the county jail. Police did not indicate when or where they found him.

Defrancesco was charged last week with unlawful contact with a minor, possessing child pornography, sexual abuse of children, indecent exposure and open lewdness. A warrant was issued then for his arrest.
