«Breaking News» Teacher cries as he admits using Spy Photo phone app to take pictures of kids at a swimming gala

A Townsville teacher accused of taking secret photos of children at his school wept in court yesterday as he was sentenced.

Bevan Allan Stephens had allegedly used a mobile phone app called Spy Photo to take indecent images of children during a swim carnival at Pimlico State High School.

Crown Prosecutor Chris Moore told Townsville District Court that the 42-year-old had taken 122 photos of students in swimwear during the event, including 38 close-up shots of their backsides and pubic regions.

'Further images were also captured by the defendant using the same application of other students on other dates,' Moore said.

'Although they do not fit within the classification of child-pornography material…the presence of them on the mobile phone indicates the defendant had been taking covert photographs of his students on multiple occasions.'

Moore said that taking the photographs was a gross breach of trust of his position, The Townsville Bulletin reports. 

Stephens yesterday pleaded guilty to accessing child-exploitation material, making child-exploitation material and eight counts of possessing child-exploitation material, the court heard.

Police said that they discovered 130,000 photos and 600 videos of child pornography when they searched Stephens' property in 2016.

'He was in the process of downloading further material when the search warrant was executed,' Moore said.

A psychological report was presented to the court that revealed Stephens' 'long-standing interest in adult pornography'.

Defence barrister Claire Grant noted that Stephens' search for child-exploitation material started after his marriage broke down.

She told the court that Stephens had only been charged with making child-exploitation material earlier this year after police advised they had been able to identify the photographs.

Grant said that Stephens had hit 'rock bottom', having lost his career, his relationship with his children and his home.

'It's a tragic circumstance where a person of otherwise good conduct comes before the court,' she said.

She said that Stephens would have to completely reinvent his life and that 'the only person that really supports him is his mother.'

Stephens was sentenced to four years' imprisonment for making child-exploitation material, four years for using a service to access child-exploitation material and 2 and a half years for each count of possessing child-exploitation material.

He will be able to apply for parole after serving 20 months.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Townsville District Court for further information.

Crown...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
