Yakima Herald Republic | Former Selah teacher charged with voyeurism for 2011 incident
A junior high teacher festooned his classroom with cameras, including under the desks of female students. He was caught. He denied knowing where the cameras came from, but unfortunately for him he had receipts for the cameras, and a search of his home revealed a veritable cam-lab.
The teacher's lawyers negotiated a deal: he would resign for a payment of about 4 month's salary, about $17,000. The district jumped on the offer. Terminating a public sector employee is generally, in the words of a former Washington state dept head, a "hellacious process." Even when you're caught trying to take upskirt videos of 13-yr-old girls.
For those libs who will inevitably cry "innocent till proven guilty," contrast this to how things work in the private sector. Last week a Microsoft employee was charged with rape of a cleaning woman.
