An 85-year-old violin teacher under investigation for child molestation now faces an additional 50 charges of possession of child pornography. Hall County Sheriff’s Office investigators reported they found child pornography on Leon Messerlian’s computer. Messerlian, of Clermont, already faced charges of child molestation, sexual battery and enticing a child for indecent purposes after a student at Oxford Academy of Classical Studies came forward with the allegations.
