A serious incident has occurred at Søholmskolen (Søholms School) in Jystrup, located north of Ringsted, Denmark, where a male staff member has admitted to filming students in the school’s changing rooms with a hidden camera. The Mid and West Zealand Police (Midt- og Vestsjællands Politi) have confirmed in a statement that the man was arrested on Thursday and has acknowledged his actions.

Currently, the charges include invasion of privacy, and the police report that the victims are children from the 3rd and 5th grades. Authorities have not yet determined how many children were filmed, and the investigation has only just begun. Vice Police Inspector Lars Krogsgaard stated that the man will be released after questioning, but his specific role at the school has not been disclosed.

There is a tense atmosphere among students and staff at Søholmskolen. The municipal school center director has expressed concern, and the school principal has stated that they are “deeply shaken” by the situation. The institution has promptly taken steps to inform parents about the incident and is now offering support and counseling to those affected.

This distressing case underscores the importance of ongoing security measures and the school’s responsibility to protect the well-being of children. Further investigations will shed light on the extent of the situation, and measures will be discussed to prevent such occurrences in the future.
