Ray E. Willis, a former spokesman for the Clark County School District who once hosted "Inside Education" on Vegas PBS, is facing 14 felony counts of child pornography possession.
Willis, 63, of Henderson, was being held on $140,000 bail at the Henderson Detention Center on Monday. Police arrested him on Feb. 10, but the details of the charges against Willis have not been released.
Willis joined the district in 1978 as its information services coordinator, according to his résumé. Except for a three-year stint as general manager of Las Vegas public radio station KCEP-FM, Willis remained with the district through mid-1999 when he left to take a position as assistant superintendent of communications with Yonkers Public Schools in New York. Willis returned to Clark County in 2000, according to a Review-Journal report, and began working as a TV show host for Vegas PBS.
Willis developed the news magazine program "Inside Education" for Vegas PBS because of the "limited" coverage that other television stations gave to district news.
District officials said Willis never worked in a local school or as an instructor.

Ray Willis is a phony. Nothing surprise me what he do behind close doors. He make myself like outstanding citizen, but in reality he is a dead beat father. He got a son he abandoned once he move to Las Vegas. He is getting his payback once and for all.
This charlatan came to Yonkers New York with his incompetent side kick Vivian Isum under the direction of Superintendent and felon Andre Hornsby. This mouth piece, dumb as they come, thought he could threaten and intimidate White Folks that worked for the district for years. A perfect example of reverse discrimination. Problem was he and his side kick didn't know squat. This low life didn't even visit his wife when she was ill in the hospital. She left him shortly there after. What comes around goes around The Incompetent Side Kick was fired with the help of yours truly, Ray high tailed it out of town back to Las Vegas and Hornsby the leader was fired only to end up as a Superintendent in another state where he was accused , indicted and found guilty of grand larceny. The Morons that hired him in Yonkers went on for a short stint as Board Members with the knowledge that they had hired the worst bunch of crooked carper bagger educators any city had ever seen. I am retired and are happier to read this article than the news about Bin laden. Good Luck Ray!! It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
He is innocent, all teachers are saints. He should be given a raise in pay with more benefits. All TEACHERS ARE PERFECT!
I am very sadden to hear the news about Ray Willis. I met him when I moved to Las Vegas. Very positive and community driven. With spam and pop-ups I am sure his explanation for what was found on his computer is accurate. My prayers are for him and his family while they work toward overcoming this hurdle.
It saddens me deeply to hear this news about Ray Willis. For all the years I knew him he was a positive factor in CCSD education. Eveyone of us have our own personal devils to deal with. I wish him the very best in overcoming this difficulty.
Looks like the RJ is practicing a high level dose of PC in monitoring the posts on this incident. The 1st Amendment only applies to the elite, y'know.
