"The safety of our students and employees is a top priority, and we have begun an inquiry into this matter," a statement from Inver Hills Community College read.

The school's online directory says Vasquez worked in building maintenance.

According to a criminal complaint, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension notified the South St. Paul Police Department in September 2017 that someone in their city was posting pictures of an underage girl on a website in Russia. These photos were not defined as child pornography under Minnesota law.

The poster was identified as Vasquez, and conversations he had on the website indicated he was sexually abusing the girl.

Law enforcement obtained a search warrant and seized more than 15,000 images and 51 videos containing suspected child pornography.

Vasquez admitted to police he posted the photos, but said he was lying when he said on the website he sexually assaulted her. He told police he is interested in teenage girls.
