James Edward Alleman Belton High School teacher from Texas was arrested on the charges of possessing child pornography after accidentally playing the footage in a full classroom. 

An investigation was launched against the 45-year-old school teacher in September after reports of this incident were brought to notice by a student. Alleman was suspended the same day by the school district. 

According to reports, the school officials confiscated the school-owned gadgets like laptop, iPad, hard-drive and a micro SD card and handed it over the police. 
 
According to an arrest warrant released on Friday, police discovered four short videos on his memory card of a young, nude Asian girl changing in a bathroom.

Investigators took the footage to Alleman's wife, who later recognised the girl as a 10-year-old who was changing her clothes in their own home. The ex-teacher's wife was unaware of such videos being shot and about the camera in the bathroom as she told the police. 

As per the affidavit, the 10-year-old in the videos was then taken to the Child Advocacy Center of Central Texas. She identified herself in the film and later told, as per the affidavit that she was unaware of being filmed and neither did she recognise the location of the video. 

According to reports further investigations into the internet history of Alleman's laptop showed a search history of Chinese and Japanese pornography. The terms translated in English later meant 'teen scandal, webcam underwear teen, teen video chat, school girl masturbation' amongst others/ 

On a bond of $75,000, the ex-High school teacher has been freed but he still awaits his trial.  

Studies suggest that child pornography and sexual abuse in the age of digital technology is augmenting without UN convention into an $8 billion industry. 

On Saturday, in  Pandagaon village in Sehore area a school teacher, was arrested for showing salacious videos to minor girls on his phone.
