Teacher, Conductor Julian Wachner Arrested in Indianapolis on Child Exploitation Charges

Recent allegations of child porn, exploitation prompt teacher's arrest
CohenMalad, LLP is actively investigating new sexual misconduct-related allegations associated with teacher, composer and conductor Julian Wachner.
Authorities have preliminarily alleged that Wachner engaged in child exploitation and child pornography. A report made in early August 2025 prompted law enforcement's involvement, and his eventual arrest on multiple charges.
Wachner was employed as a 4th grade math teacher at Invent Learning Hub, a K–8 charter school in Indianapolis at the time of his arrest.

In addition to his teaching role, Wachner has worked extensively as a conductor and composer in Indiana, nationally and internationally.
Our sexual abuse legal team is reviewing this developing matter. Families or individuals who engaged with Wachner in schools, music programs or other interactions, and have concerns about potential misconduct, are encouraged to contact us.
