An outside contracter who worked at Cal State Long Beach's Special Education Clinic was arrested July 26 by University Police on five felony charges of oral copulation and distributing pornographic material to minors under 14 years of age, university spokesperson Toni Beron said.

Police arrested Roger McGookin, 63, at his Fountain Valley home and later booked him into the Long Beach City Jail. He was released over the weekend after posting $260,000 bail.

University officials refused to release any information, saying that the investigation is ongoing.

McGookin, reached at home by the Forty-Niner, declined to answer any questions before hanging up.
