The Suffolk County Grand Jury today returned a six-count indictment charging a former teacher with sexually assaulting two children and recording the abuse, District Attorney Daniel F. Conley announced.

Specifically, the indictments charge DAVID ETTLINGER (D.O.B. 7/6/77) of Brighton with two counts each of aggravated assault and battery on a child under 14, posing a child in a state of nudity, and secretly photographing a nude or semi-nude person. The indictments move Ettlinger’s previous cases from Brighton and West Roxbury municipal courts to Suffolk Superior Court, where he is expected to be arraigned on March 1.

Ettlinger was arrested Jan. 17 by Massachusetts State Police after the execution of a federal search warrant at his Commonwealth Avenue home. That warrant, issued amid an ongoing federal investigation, led to the recovery of multiple image and video files depicting children under 18 in sexualized contexts.

Among those files were images and videos depicting two children whose identities are known to investigators. The children were not students of Ettlinger’s but prosecutors say they were known to him. Ettlinger allegedly assaulted the children on separate occasions and secretly filmed the abuse. Ettlinger had been charged with offenses against one of the victims; the second was identified during the course of the grand jury investigation.

In addition to the pending Suffolk County case, Ettlinger has also been charged by the Middlesex County District Attorney’s office and the US Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana.

Assistant District Attorney David Deakin, chief of Conley’s Family Protection and Sexual Assault Bureau, led the grand jury investigation and is prosecuting the case. Kate Lagana is the DA’s assigned victim-witness advocate. Ettlinger is represented by attorney Greg L. Johnson.
