COLUMBUS – A former Columbus high school chemistry teacher appeared in federal court in Columbus Wednesday on charges that he used hidden cameras to take tens of thousands of explicit videos of students and other young women.
Justin Foley, 47, worked as a chemistry teacher at Columbus Alternative High School and was arrested in September.
He is charged with sexually exploiting minors and distributing, receiving and possessing child pornography.
Foley allegedly created the videos at schools where he taught and in dressing rooms and other public places including department stores in central Ohio, in public areas of downtown Delaware.
According to court documents, Foley admitted to creating videos in the classroom and hallways of the school at which he taught up to the week before his arrest.
Anyone who believes they may be a victim or the parent of a potential victim of Foley’s alleged conduct is encouraged to call 614-901-6883.
