Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 22:21 · Archive

A 61-year-old Sydney teacher has been refused bail after police allegedly found multiple covert recordings of girls on his electronic devices. He was charged with five counts of intentionally recording intimate images without consent, as well as producing and possessing child abuse material. NSW Police said they received a report that the Hornsby man had electronic devices containing child abuse material and attended his home on Tuesday, where they examined a USB allegedly containing covertly filmed footage of females in public places.

During a search warrant execution at the teacher's house, police seized several more electronic devices for forensic examination. Detectives allegedly found recordings taken on the grounds of a school at neighbouring Wahroonga where the man worked as a teacher. Police allege some of the videos found depicted students at the school.

After the man was discharged from hospital about midday on Thursday, he was arrested and charged. He appeared at Hornsby Local Court where he was formally refused bail and is scheduled to next appear in court on November 18.
