  • Events The hysteria of the Boadilla teacher after losing the camera with which he allegedly recorded naked students: "He became angry and accused the children"

The

Civil Guard

has identified three new victims of the

Boadilla del Monte

professor investigated for allegedly recording students in his office for at least two decades, legal sources have confirmed to Europa Press.

The teacher appeared last October before the judge in the case after the discovery of a new recording recovered from one of the electronic devices seized during the entry and search of the home of the person under investigation.

Now, investigators have identified three new victims while viewing these devices, so he could be called to testify again.

Apparently, one of the cases dates back more than 17 years, according to legal sources told Europa Press. The teacher, already removed from the school, is being investigated for the alleged commission of crimes of revealing secrets and corruption of minors.

The case is progressing slowly due to the difficulty in dumping the data contained in the hard drives seized in the search of the home of teacher

Antonio Maestu

.

The case was uncovered in June 2022 when a resident of

Valdemorillo

located a backpack in the middle of the street with a camera inside. She was surprised when she discovered that images of minors appearing in underwear were stored inside.

CAMERA IN A BACKPACK

Apparently, in June the investigated person lost a backpack with the camera that he used to record students. Inside, there was a small device with a memory card. The teacher would have reproached two students a day later for stealing his camera.

The alleged pedophile would have

two recording devices

, according to the investigations. One that he used in audiovisual classes and another with which he supposedly recorded sixth grade girls while they changed clothes to go to

Physical Education

.

After discovering the pornographic content, the Valdemorillo neighbor handed over the image storage device to the Civil Guard. Ten days later, the person under investigation was arrested and brought to justice by the

Móstoles

judge who is conducting the proceedings.

The alleged pedophile's 'modus operandi' consisted of allegedly convincing the students that they had to change clothes in his office to go to Physical Education class. He allegedly had recording devices installed in his office, according to investigators.

After receiving the report, the judge ordered the entry and search of the teacher's office before summer within the framework of the investigation proceedings opened for the alleged commission of a crime of possession of child pornography.

During the entry and search, the investigators seized the professor's computer, with numerous image storage files, and seized

numerous hard drives

that had been drilled and whose contents the Civil Guard has not been able to access.

The teacher was arrested in June 2022 for the crime of possession and production of child pornography. The detainee was brought to justice, and was released with precautionary measures such as the obligation to appear before the court and the prohibition of approaching the educational center and other schools, among other measures.
