LAPORTE, Ind. -- A substitute teacher has been charged with voyeurism for secretly videotaping women in a dressing room of a northern Indiana high school, officials said.

Samuel Potter, 40, of LaPorte, used duct tape to install a miniature video camera in the corner of one of the dressing room walls on Jan. 29, LaPorte police said. The lens peered through a tiny hole in the tape, giving a clear view of the entire room, police said.

Of course, "techers" should be "teachers."

This happened in upstate New York a few years ago. A kindergarten teacher rigged up a camera in the "cloak room". There was no law against video voyeurism at the time, but this case triggered a law in NY. He was charged with a minor offense and did a year's time in jail. He was fired, too.

Well, I'm going to sound stupid, but here goes. Why was she/he taping kids putting on their coats?

Because he was after his wife's best friend who was in the play. Contained in the article.

Good question. He had concocted some warm weather outdoor activity, if I recall correctly, and the children were changing into bathing suits. (That was the first clue.)

OK. They were using the coat room as a changing room for bathing suits--much different than merely changing coats and mittens. I didn't even know schools still had cloak rooms. My daughter has a hook and a cubby hole.

No need for that. Just put a camera on a football field and Janet Jackson will willingly give you plenty to videotape.

...or, just stay home and watch it on TV.

For a minute there, I thought you mistyped "lechers"
