TROIS-RIVIERES, Que. - A former boarding school worker was sentenced Wednesday to 17 months in prison and three years' probation for taking video recordings of children in the shower.
Pierre Laplante, 50, of Trois-Rivieres, Que., was arrested last year as part of a Toronto police child-porn bust.
He has admitted to voyeurism and producing and possessing child pornography.
Laplante had installed a camera in the locker room showers at Mount Benilde and Bromptonville high schools east of Montreal.
He was reportedly in charge of boarders at Bromtonville school.
Court heard that he captured video of the boys undressing and taking showers a number of times between 2006 and 2013.
Police seized thousands of photos and more than 190 videos from his home following his arrest.
The Crown had suggested a sentence of 15 to 18 months in prison
