Ex-substitute Teacher Allegedly Took Pictures Under Stall Doors of Women Using Florida University Ba
A former public school substitute teacher in Florida has been charged with video voyeurism for allegedly taking photographs of women in a university bathroom.
Local media reported yesterday about an incident inside the Florida Atlantic University (FAU). Ché Corrado Cunningham, 26, of Lake Worth, was arrested and booked on April 26 at 6:20 p.m., according to online records from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
The university police blotter confirmed the arrest—which took place at the College of Business in FAU's Boca Raton campus. It listed the time of the alleged offense at around 1:45 p.m.
The Palm Beach Post newspaper, which obtained the police report linked to the incident, said officers attended the scene after receiving an anonymous tip that a man had been spotted inside the bathroom. They confronted Cunningham and asked him to display his cell phone's photo gallery. Deputies said they could see images had been taken from under the stall doors.
According to the university police report, the suspect had attempted to delete the images from his phone but deputies successfully seized the handset. Cunningham was detained and later booked into Palm Beach County Jail in lieu of a $10,000 bond, the local sheriff's office records said.
It remains unclear how many images were taken of the women and why the suspect was on campus. Officials told the Palm Beach Post he was not a student or employee at the school. A public defender assigned to Cunningham declined to comment, due to the active investigation.
The county school district said Cunningham had been fired last week, WFLX reported. He was previously employed on a temporary "on call" basis since September 2016, local media noted.
In September last year, a teacher at Florida's Bloomingdale High School was arrested for alleged video voyeurism. Mark William Ackett, 50, was left facing more than 350 criminal charges after being accused of recording dozens of his students in an area where they had changed clothes for a fashion class.
Investigators discovered hundreds of videos and images of girls, many between the ages of 14 and 18, the Tampa Bay Times reported at the time. Ackett, a father of two, told police that he had started recording the victims in January 2017. He was caught after a female student found a device that appeared to be recording while she undressed.
On October 22 last year, he turned himself in and was being held in lieu of $2 million bond. Fox13 reported last month that the number of victims, at last count, was an estimated 125 students.
