According to charging documents, the 61-year-old one-time teacher of the year award winner was using a website called "Sniffies," a platform for men seeking sexual relationships with other men.

The undercover sergeant was conducting an operation on the site under the guise of a 15-year-old boy named Aiden.

Jutras, who lives in Aberdeen, reportedly messaged Aiden first.

The conversation quickly turned sexual with Jutras expressing his desire to be dominated by Aiden, all while sending inappropriate photos.

Eventually, the two arranged a meeting at a park on Prospect Mill Road in Bel Air, where Jutras was arrested.

Baltimore City Schools said they've placed Jutras on administrative leave.

"While Mr. Jutras worked in a role where he worked with schools and students as part of our Gifted and Advanced Learning program, we are not aware of any impact on City Schools students," a school spokesperson said.

For now, Jutras is being held without bond.

Anyone with more information can call the Harford County Sheriff’s Office at 410-838-6600.
