A substitute teacher accused of taking sexually explicit photographs of a 9-year-old and sending them out on the Internet will appear in court Friday.

Jill Fletcher, 35, is charged with one felony count of child pornography. She remains in the Carson City Jail on $50,000 bail.

According to the Sheriff's Department, authorities were alerted after Fletcher filed a complaint of having received child pornography.

In her complaint she stated she was using Yahoo! to look at "teacher" Web sites when someone sent her a message asking for nude photographs of a child.

Police allege the child told them Fletcher asked her to "flash" the Internet camera on top of her computer.

The child said she lifted her shirt then later pulled down her pants while Fletcher chatted online with someone, police reports state.

Fletcher allegedly told detectives she initially refused requests from the unknown person for the child to expose herself but then asked the child to do it.

The preliminary hearing is Friday at 10:30 a.m.
