VANCOUVER, Washington: A former custodian at Vancouver Public Schools pleaded guilty this month to 137 counts of voyeurism after investigators found videos he’d secretly recorded from inside a high-school staff bathroom as well as a girl’s locker room, according to court documents.

James Mattson, 38, of Vancouver, is in custody at Clark County Corrections, where he’s awaiting sentencing in the case. He was fired from Vancouver Public Schools – where he’d worked since 2007 – shortly after being arrested in early October.
