40-yr-old Leon Burnett Hensley was arrested last week on charges of child pornography.

More than 40 victims who are all believed to be female students at North East High School in Clarksville where Hensley worked between August 2017 and November 2019 were photographed in the school bathrooms reports the Sun.

The former school nurse was alleged to have been found in possession of over 700 illicit images of young girls that appeared to have been captured on a hidden camera in a bathroom.

“The camera was positioned in such a manner as to capture or attempt to capture the lewd and lascivious display of the genitalia and positioned in the same location in all of the images,” prosecutors wrote in a press release.
“The camera was positioned directly across and in front of the toilet seat, at toilet seat level.”

Authorities said they recovered nude images of women in hospital exam rooms at Tennova Hospital in Clarksville, where Hensley was employed prior to his job at the school. Over 500,000 images and videos on a hard drive belonging to Hensley are being analysed.

If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and a maximum of up to life in prison.
