The Los Angeles Police Department is hoping members of the public can help identify victims who may have been sexually abused by a former Los Angeles Unified School District teacher.
The suspect, Bradley Ratcliff, was arrested on Feb. 2 by the LAPD’s Juvenile Division’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit.
Bradley, who was the dean of discipline and athletic director at West Adams Preparatory High School, was arrested for distribution of child pornography. Ratcliff was also the former head varsity football coach for the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
A search warrant was served at Ratcliff’s Los Angeles residence, which is also where Ratcliff was arrested.
The suspect was found to be in possession of numerous child pornography images and videos containing male victims.
The investigation is ongoing, but investigators do not have any evidence that the images and videos belonging to Ratcliff contain current or former students.
Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives at (562)624-4027.
During weekends and off-hours, call the LAPD’s 24-hour, toll-free hotline at (877)LAPD247.
