Massachusetts teacher facing child porn charges had secret cameras in classroom

NEWTON, Mass. -- A former Massachusetts elementary school teacher charged with child pornography is now accused of taking secret pictures of students in his second-grade classroom, investigators confirmed.

David Ettlinger had a camera hidden underneath his desk at his former school in Newton, about nine miles west of Boston, and dozens of pictures of his students were found at his home, Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone's office said.

None of the pictures are pornographic, but authorities have alerted the parents whose children were identified in the snapshots.

Ettlinger is facing numerous charges, including aggravated assault on a minor and possession of child pornography. He was fired when the porn charges broke.

The case remains under investigation.
