A middle school librarian has been arrested for allegedly distributing child pornography, according to the feds.

Holyoke man Scott McGinley, 55 — a middle school librarian in Longmeadow — has been charged with one count of distribution of child pornography.

The feds also allegedly found children’s underwear, bedding, a Santa costume, diapers, diaper cream and other items inside a locked case in his basement.

McGinley is the school librarian for Williams Middle School and Glenbrook Middle School in Longmeadow.

Last month, he allegedly distributed child sexual abuse material to a group called, “Little boyz only,” on an encrypted messenger application.

When contacted by undercover law enforcement posing as a fellow user on the app, McGinley allegedly disclosed his sexual preference for “boys age 2-12” and “especially 4-7.”

He also allegedly said he had “students” who were “11-14 years old” but, “ha[d]n’t touched them sexually,” and that he sat “hot boys strategically so [he could] see under their desks, and close to [him],” and made graphic sexual statements about the boys.

Then last week, the feds searched McGinley and his residence — and found various electronic devices, including two iPhones, an Apple Watch, a tablet and two laptops.

A locked Pelican case was recovered in his basement, which allegedly had items for children about 5 to 7 years old.

Those items included children’s clothes, a Santa costume, diapers, diaper cream and apple sauce packets. The Pelican case also allegedly contained a toolbox with boys’ underwear and bedding stuffed inside.

According to the charging documents, a forensic exam of McGinley’s phone revealed more than 100 files depicting child sexual abuse material.

A further review of McGinley’s devices remains ongoing.
