Rauh's family and friends told Adams that they felt the death of his mother in 2009 and keeping his homosexuality a secret his whole life led him to make the illicit bathroom recordings. Some said the trauma caused him to use the recordings as an outlet to receive immediate gratification and forget his loss, while others felt his mother's death gave him license to act on his sexual desires.
But court testimony revealed Rauh had been filming his male colleague since 2007, which escalated in April 2010 to Rauh breaking into the man's home while the man was on vacation and then downloading the man's family photos from his computer onto a portable flash drive. Rauh later downloaded the stolen pictures to his home computer, Deputy District Attorney Luke Prengaman said.
Files on Rauh's computer showed in 2007 he had downloaded pictures of the same man's genitals that had been taken by a camera Rauh secretly placed under a desk at the elementary school. Prengaman said investigators also discovered on Rauh's home computer that he had been using a "pinhole" camera, clipped on his clothes, to capture the man on school grounds as well as the conversations he held with him. Rauh also installed spyware on the man's computer.
Basically this guy was a stalker. He was also caught in a web of lies.
He got three years in jail for his crimes. Good riddance. Teachers without family connections in WCSD have been fired and had their lives destroyed for basically no reason at all except to cover up administrator incompetence/malfeasance.
