Covertly filmed footage of females in public and at a school, found on storage devices at a home in Sydney’s north-west, has put a 61-year-old teacher in custody on child abuse material charges.
Reports of child abuse material on electronic devices at the Hornsby home brought detectives to the door about noon on Tuesday.
One USB drive was allegedly found containing covertly filmed footage of females in public and in a school environment, police said in a statement.
The man was taken to hospital for assessment while police continued searching the home, seizing devices for further examination. Detectives allegedly found several recordings captured on the grounds of a Wahroonga school where the man worked.
After he was discharged from hospital on Thursday afternoon the man was charged with five counts of intentionally recording intimate image without consent, producing child abuse material and possessing child abuse material.
He was formally refused bail at Hornsby Local Court, where he is due to appear again on November 18.
