NEW ORLEANS — A former Isidore Newman School teacher and tennis coach who had been arrested three times previously on child pornography-related charges has been arrested again, this time on 60 deepfake charges.

Attorney General Liz Murrill's Office says Benoit G. Cransac, 49, a French national authorized to live in the U.S., was arrested on April 1 on 60 counts of creating unlawful deepfakes. 

Before his first arrest on Jan. 8 for 22 counts of child sexual abuse material, Benoit taught French to first- through fifth-grade students and coached middle school tennis at Newman. 

He was fired and then arrested again on Jan. 21 for three more counts of child sexual abuse material.

On March 23, he was arrested for a third time on 17 counts of video voyeurism of a child under 17. These charges stem from accusations that he took photos of students in his classroom, according to the AG's Office.

Cransac is currently being held at the Orleans Justice Center on a $3.57 million bond for his previous charges.
