Court documents also show that investigators first received a tip about Bellissemo after Dropbox flagged an account that he had contained child sexual abuse material.
Police said more criminal charges are pending.
Ursuline Academy told WCPO 9 that they learned Bellissemo was arrested by police Tuesday, and the school has since terminated his employment.
