MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A former Brookfield high school teacher is scheduled to answer to charges in Louisiana today related to pornography and indecent behavior.

Forty-one-year-old Michael Sprinkel of Sussex, has been charged in Louisiana with solicitation using a computer, indecent behavior with a juvenile and pornography involving juveniles.

According to court records, Sprinkel was arrested in January after chatting online with someone he thought was a 15-year-old girl. He also allegedly used a Web camera to expose himself to the person, who was actually a Louisiana police officer.

His lawyer said this month Sprinkel will go to Louisiana today to answer the charges. Sprinkel also has an extradition hearing scheduled May 9 in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
