Former school principal gets 30 years after secretly filming students in bathroom
SUMMARY: Former Christian elementary school principal Norman Keith Aycock was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for attempting to produce child sexual exploitation material by secretly videotaping and photographing students in the school’s bathrooms and locker room. He was also ordered to pay restitution to victims and register as a sex offender. Aycock placed hidden cameras throughout the school, and an investigation began after a student discovered a camera in the girls’ locker room. He was also indicted on state charges. U.S. Attorney Clay Joyner stated that Aycock’s sentence should serve as a warning to anyone entrusted with the care of children.
