PICKERINGTON, Ohio (WCMH) — A former custodian at Pickerington Local Schools pleaded guilty to voyeurism charges Thursday and was given a jail sentence. 

Prosecutors said Edward Dorst, 64, of Baltimore, Ohio, hid a cell phone in a staff restroom at Tollgate Elementary School, where he worked. Dorst was arrested in October, when the phone was found. 

The district immediately placed him on leave; his contract with the district was terminated in February. 

In January, a spokesperson for the teachers’ union told the school board that one-third of the staff at Tollgate was recorded by the phone; no students were involved, according to investigators. 

Dorst was sentenced to 90 days in jail for each of six charges of voyeurism with three of those terms suspended. He is ordered to pay a $25 fine, be under four years of probation following his release, must register as a sex offender, and complete a treatment program. 

“Our focus remains on supporting our employees, and we appreciate the strength and professionalism they have shown throughout this difficult time,” a spokesperson for the district said. 

Dorst is also ordered to stay at least 1,000 feet away from Pickerington school properties and all the victims. He will also surrender his phone to the Fairfield County sheriff’s office.
