Ex-school official charged over camera found in locker room
NEW ALBANY, Ind. (AP) – The former vice principal of a southern Indiana middle school faces voyeurism charges after authorities linked him to a camera found inside the boys locker room.
Sixty-five-year-old Paul Raake didn’t comment to reporters as he left a Floyd County court hearing Wednesday, a day after he was arrested on the felony charge.
State police say an investigation began last fall after a student at Scribner Middle School in New Albany found the camera inside a locker. Police say investigators found photographs on computers used by Raake, one of which showed a male student dressing or undressing.
Raake has since retired from the school.
The New Albany-Floyd County school district said in a statement it fully cooperated with authorities but didn’t comment on the charges against Raake.
