Upskirt Videos of 3,000 Women and Girls

(New South Wales, Australia) This is pathetic. High school teacher Robert Ian Drummond videotaped images up females' dresses and was caught because a 14-year-old girl, while shopping at the mall, saw his camera in a bag near her foot.

From Brisbane Times:

Drummond, 41, of Harbord, a teacher at Cromer High School, was charged in Manly Local Court with committing an act of indecency, allegedly filming up the skirt of a 14-year-old girl with a camera hidden in a plastic bag, at Warringah Mall on May 1.

He was arrested at the school on Friday.

A search of his home revealed indecent film of up to 3000 females made over two years, police said, but it was unknown whether it was Drummond who shot the footage.

Further charges may be laid after the footage, some of which appears to feature girls in school uniform, has been reviewed.

Drummond was identified from a mall surveillance video capture published in the local newspaper. He was suspended by the school system.

Since he was charged with only a single count of indecency. a magistrate allowed Drummond to be released on $20,000 bail with the stipulation that he move in with his mother and not leave the house alone.

The police department now has to review over 3,000 upskirt videotapes to see if other charges are warranted. Frankly, because of the quantity I think the police will find that Drummond was in the business of selling the videos.

Drummond is due back in court on June 12th.
