"Travis Shojinaga, 39, a veteran elementary school teacher at the $54,000-a-year Viewpoint School, took secret video "up the shirts and skirts of the 4th and 5th grade female students that he teaches," prosecutors said. The accused pedophile took recordings of the 10- and 11-year-old girls by bending down and pretending to pick up trash or tie his shoe, the filings showed."
"The educator further targeted a particularly vulnerable victim who was wearing a leg cast due to her mobility issues and sought out the victims based on their age and length of their skirts, prosecutors added. Shojinaga is also accused of molesting several victims by looking for girls to sit next to during breaks and standing close to students."
"After his arrest, he told authorities that he had an "addiction" and had taken the vile recording 50 to 60 times, according to court filings. "He said taking and viewing these photos make his 'heart race,'" the documents said."
