Prosecutors anticipate filing charges Thursday against the principal of Chanhassen High School for allegedly possessing child pornography.

Once charged, Timothy Dorway, 44, would appear late Thursday morning for a bail hearing in Carver County District Court in Chaska, according to the county attorney’s office.

Dorway was arrested Tuesday after Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force arrested him. He remains jailed Thursday without bail.

The arrest followed a search of his home in Victoria and at the high school where he has been principal since 2010. The school opened in 2009.

Dorway has been on leave since his arrest. The Eastern Carver County School District said the case involves none of its students.

The Sheriff’s Office is assisting with the investigation, and the district is conducting its own investigation.

Dorway began teaching English, journalism and speech in 1995 at Park High School in Cottage Grove, where he worked until 2002. During that time, he also supervised yearbook, newspaper and speech students and coached football and baseball. He went on to serve as Owatonna High School principal from July 2002 to June 2006. Dorway was employed by the Rochester School District from July 2007 to June 2010. Before moving to Chanhassen High School, he had been principal at Rochester Mayo High School.
