A teacher who used a camera pen to take indecent images of pupils at two schools, including one in Wisbech, has been jailed.
31 year old Jeffrey Wilson, of Bluebell Way in March, used the camera to target pupils and staff at Thomas Clarkson Academy, in Wisbech, and Hills Road Sixth Form College, in Cambridge.
Police raided Wilson's home on February 11 this year, after his IP address was linked to indecent images online.
Electronic devices were seized revealing 53,000 indecent images and videos of children, including 90 category A images, considered the most severe.
45 of the images were taken by Wilson over a six month period between April and September 2019, when he worked at the two schools.
Wilson had also used a hidden camera in a clock to secretly film a woman undressing at his home.
He admitted three counts of making indecent images of children, three of voyeurism and two of recording an image under clothing to observe another without consent.
He was jailed for a year at Peterborough Crown Court on Tuesday (August 30). He was also made subject of a ten year sexual harm prevention order.
DC Keith Evans, of Cambridgeshire Constabulary, said: “This was a truly disturbing case. Wilson was in a position of trust, which he abused by violating both colleagues and students for his own gratification.
“His behaviour towards the woman he secretly filmed at his home was also disgusting. I’m pleased his offending has been discovered and he has now faced justice.
“These images were taken without the knowledge of the victims and it is impossible to identify them. Wilson’s actions will inevitably cause a great deal of distress to pupils, their parents and staff at the schools.”
