TX – A Springtown man has been accused by police of recording a video of an 18-year-old woman showering at his home while using a âspy penâ without her consent.
A second-grade teacher at a Fort Worth elementary school, Brian Paul Weaver, 38, turned himself in to authorities and is charged with improper visual recording without consent, according to a Springtown Police affidavit.
The âspy pen,â which functions as a pen with a camera attached, was taken by one of Weaverâs children to school, where it was discovered by another student and given to a teacher, Sgt. Shawn Owens of the Springtown Police Department said.
âOne of the children in Brian Weaverâs home took the pen to school thinking it was just a pen, and thatâs where at the school it was discovered as more than just a pen,â Owens said. (more)
