Carrollton police have arrested a high school teacher accused of recording female students while they undressed.
Police said they charged 54-year-old George Edwin Thomas III, of Highland Village, with six counts of invasive visual recording.
Police said Thomas, a teacher at R.L. Turner High School in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District, used concealed recording devices to capture video of at least six students in various stages of undress without their knowledge last school year.
Thomas was arrested Thursday morning.
In a statement Thursday afternoon, the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD officials said they placed Thomas on administrative leave after they were made aware of the allegations Feb. 22. District officials said they are cooperating fully with the investigation.
