IMMOKALEE, Fla. — According to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, a teacher at Pinecrest Elementary School has been charged with a felony after an investigation showed that he placed a video camera in a restroom at the school.
The man identified as Diego Alberto Rojas-Pulido, 37, is charged with video voyeurism and crimes against a minor.
On Tuesday, there were three students using the restroom when they saw a video recording device that was attached to a metal tissue box adjacent to Rojas-Pulido’s classroom.
