BALTIMORE — A Prince George’s County Public Schools worker is accused of producing child pornography with three minors last year, according to a federal indictment.

Court records show Xaviour Smith, 28, of Upper Marlboro, was arrested and charged with five production felonies earlier this month.

His eight-page indictment does not include details on the alleged victims and material. It was not clear whether they involved public school students; students at Smith’s nonprofit dance studio in Temple Hills, 1101 Dance Academy; or children in some other capacity of his life.

The five charges allege, however, that Smith enticed the minors to engage in sexually explicit content he knew or should have known “would be transported in and affecting interstate and foreign commerce.” The indictment notes that the content could be shipped by any means, including digitally.

A public defender listed as representing Smith was not immediately able to respond to a request for comment Thursday morning, nor were spokespeople for Prince George’s County Public Schools.

It was also not immediately clear what Smith’s position is or was with the school system.
