40-year-old Matthew Morasch, a teacher at Evergreen High School in Vancouver Washington, was arrested and charged on Monday with two counts of voyeurism. One of the charges stems from an upskirt photo that he purportedly took on his phone. That photo was of a female student who was sitting across from him in the classroom on June 15th. The other charge was based on a photo he allegedly took with his phone at an area retail store in April.
The student reported that she noticed that Morasch ‘acted strange’ while he was around her. She told KPTV, “He was leaning awkwardly, like sitting weird, and he kept clearing his throat and grunting while he was looking down.”
She reported the incident to the school authorities and Evergreen Public Schools sent a letter home to parents that day notifying them of potentially inappropriate behavior by a teacher in a classroom. They pledged full cooperation with the police.
Detectives from the digital evidence cyber crime unit got a warrant to examine the teacher’s phone, and the local school district later placed Morasch on paid administrative leave.
He is scheduled to appear in court next Tuesday, June 30th.
