OC Teacher Accused Of Hiding Recording Devices In Bathrooms: Police

IRVINE, CA — A teacher at Beckman High School in Irvine was arrested Monday on charges of hiding recording devices in a bathroom at the Orange County school.

Siu Kong Sit was arrested for possession of or manufacturing child pornography, burglary and on two misdemeanor charges and was booked at the Orange County Jail, Irvine Police Department Lt. Cathy Scherer said.

A contracted maintenance worker found the recording devices inside a restroom near a pool at the school and turned the items over to the school's administrative staff, which then called the police department, authorities said.

Officers found the devices had recorded several victims while they were in the restroom, Scherer said.

During the course of their investigation, detectives determined Sit had installed the recording devices.

Scherer said police are attempting to locate additional victims based on additional evidence located on the devices.
