Police arrest Spanaway, WA high school teacher for child porn, voyeurism

SPANAWAY, Wash. - Christian Williams has been booked into Pierce County Jail for voyeurism and possession of child pornography.

The 48-year-old was arrested at Spanaway Lake High School, where he was employed as an AP Computer Science teacher. The school was placed on a modified lockdown on September 11 as police made the arrest without incident.

Bethel School District released the following statement to families on Wednesday:

On August 28, deputies in Pierce County say they took a report of a voyeurism incident in the Bonney Lake area.

A teenage girl found a USB plug-in charger with a camera on it in the bathroom she shares with her younger sister, according to law enforcement. 

"They had no idea where it was from," said Pierce County Sheriff's Sgt. Darren Moss. "It’s basically a small USB plug-in charger and it has a tiny little camera inside of it. They reported it to deputies that they found it in their restroom."

Detectives then established probable cause to search, and eventually arrest, the 48-year-old relative.

Right now, deputies say there is no information that Williams committed any crimes at the high school.

"We've only been able to search that device," said Sgt. Moss. "If we've located other devices or if we find computers or cell phones that have images of minors, then that investigation gets larger and larger."
