CHILD Abuse Squad detectives have charged a 58-year-old male teacher as part of an investigation into the discovery of a video recording device at a southern suburbs primary school.
The device was located and seized in recent days and is being subjected to forensic examination.
It has been determined that a number of students were recorded on the device, which was positioned inside a toilet cubicle at the school.
To protect the identity of potential child victims police have asked that the school not be named, however parents of children who are identified as having been recorded on camera will be individually contacted detectives and provided further information regarding the investigation.
The man has been charged with 27 counts of indecently recording a child under 13 years, 15 counts of attempting to indecently record a child under 13 years and 10 counts of unlawfully installing an optical surveillance device.
He has been released on bail and is next due to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on Monday, April 11.
