Teacher Busted for Filming Students In Bathroom

millsteacher.jpg

Mills High School English teacher David Lista, 35, of Belmont has admitted to filming underage girls using the bathroom at the high school where he taught. it seems he was arrested yesterday afternoon after a Mills technology coordinator came across Lista's cinematic restroom work while checking the school computer server. Police then searched Lista's home, which turned up a "small amount" of methamphetamine as well. Ouch. But this wasn't the first time Lista's alleged actions have stirred controversy at the high school. According to the San Jose Mercury News:


Several students also said Lista was caught up in an episode last year involving links on his YouTube video-sharing account.

"I saw it myself," said Alfred Tam, a senior who was in Lista's leadership class. "He had links to his favorites' that were all these videos of underage girls dancing in bikinis." ... Mills principal Paul Belzer declined to address either the petition or the YouTube allegation Tuesday, saying both were personnel matters

Lista posted $100,000 bail this morning and has since been put ion administrative leave. His exact charges have yet to be announced while the police investigation is still underway.

I don't trust those sideburns.

 

did alfred tell anyone about that?

dumbass!

 

I know it's like that feeling of familiarity you get when you see the lottery numbers, but just looking at his mugshot confirms his guilt. Oh and the youtube favorites, and the hidden camera, and the meth, and the fact that he teaches English.

 

What, instead of shop or driver's ed? Yeah, those guys were never shady.

 

This guy is a genius. From the Mercury News article:
"Lista was arrested Thursday after a technology coordinator at the school stumbled upon images of students using the bathroom during a check of the school computer server to determine why it was overloaded."

Not only is he a pervert, he's an idiot that used the school's internet connection to transfer and distribute the images.

Looks like somebody watched Porky's one too many times as a teen.

 

Ah Mills. My alma mater. What's funny about this story is that in Frank Portman's book "King Dork" there's a side plot about a simliar situation involving a teacher and the school in the book is loosely based on Mills.

Otherwise it's a rather boring school, it is built almost entirely out of steel. Oh and it has no A/C either. Or windows in most of the classrooms.

Aragon, Crestmoor, Hillsdale all share similar architecture, design but no word on meth using peeping toms.

 

i love the fact that mpg is critizcizing the execution of his perversion. what does that say about you mpg?

;)

 

Just to let you know, he was posted for 10,000 bail not 100,000.
