A Bradley County, Tennessee, grand jury will hear the case against a former teacher and coach at Cleveland Middle School who was arrested March 16 because of a video camera he allegedly hid in a girls locker room, following a hearing Thursday in General Sessions Court.

Christopher Dalton Schroll, 31, of Belmont Circle in Cleveland, is charged with two counts of aggravated unlawful photographing of a minor stemming from the mid-March discovery of a video camera hidden in a girls’ locker room. The camera allegedly contained images of at least 30 girls, some partially clothed, according to officials and court records.

Schroll is represented by the Cleveland law office of Chancey-Kanavos, but office staff there said the former teacher’s attorneys had no comment when contacted Friday by phone. There was no response to a message seeking comment left Friday for Schroll at a phone number listed in his name.

Stephen Crump, 10th Judicial District attorney general, said Friday in an email his office could not comment on the case until after the grand jury presentation.

Schroll’s next court date will be June 27 if his case is presented to the June grand jury, according to an email sent Friday by Aaron J. Chaplin, the assistant district attorney handling the case.
