The former Cleveland, Tennessee, middle school science teacher accused of videoing girls in the school locker room in 2022 has been sentenced to four years in prison, according to court records.
Christopher Dalton Schroll, 33, of Belmont Circle in Cleveland, was sentenced on a guilty plea to two counts of aggravated unlawful photographing of a minor and was given four years in prison Monday by Circuit Court Judge Sandra Donaghy, according to court documents. Schroll will be released on three years, seven months of supervised probation after he serves five months of his sentence behind bars.
Schroll was originally charged March 17, 2022, after a student found a hidden video camera in the girls’ locker room a couple of days earlier, according to case documents. Investigators found images of at least 30 girls on the camera.
According to the case affidavit filed by Cleveland police, authorities were notified March 15, 2022, of the discovery of what authorities described as a spy camera that looked similar to a mobile phone charger but contained a camera lens and a memory card.
