Hong Kong - A Hong Kong primary schoolteacher was arrested after spy cameras were found in a girls changing room, a newspaper reported Saturday.
Pinhole cameras were put in a room where girls changed for dance classes at a primary school in the city's Mongkok district, the South China Morning Post said.
A 10-minute videotape showing nine girls changing their clothes in the classroom was also discovered after a dance teacher and students found the cameras, the newspaper said.
A 32-year-old teacher who helped teach dance was arrested in connection with the incident and has been sacked by the school. Police have released him on bail and have not yet charged him.
The school's principal told the newspaper that the teacher said he wanted to film dancing for future use in lessons but added, "Personally, I found the explanation very unconvincing."
Earlier this month, a 53-year-old teacher in another Hong Kong primary school was jailed for six years and eight months for having sex with a 10-year-old female pupil in his class. (dpa)
