   BELLINGHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - A Bellingham teacher who was placed   
   on administrative leave last week for allegedly recording a   
   student in a faculty bathroom is facing criminal charges after   
   investigators say he devised an “elaborate” plan to obtain nude   
   photos of the victim.   
      
   Scott McDonald, 38, will be arraigned next week in Milford   
   District Court on charges including photographing sexual   
   intimate parts of child and posing a child in a sexual act-   
   pose/exhibit, officials said.   
      
   McDonald, a longtime teacher and baseball coach, was immediately   
   removed from Bellingham Memorial Middle School after a complaint   
   received on Nov. 9 stated that a male student had been recorded,   
   according to Superintendent Peter Marano.   
      
   The 14-year-old student tipped off school officials after   
   spotting a camera planted in a box on a locker, prompting an   
   investigation, police said.   
      
   When investigators began looking into the claim, they found the   
   box and McDonald’s iPhone, both of which matched the student’s   
   description, according to court documents.   
      
   Authorities allege that McDonald would ask the student to   
   retrieve binders from his car, and in exchange, he would let the   
   boy use the faculty bathroom, which he described as “cleaner”   
   than other restrooms.   
      
   On multiple occasions, the student opened the box and found   
   recordings of himself on McDonald’s iPhone, the documents said.   
      
   Authorities seized the phone and found several “suspicious   
   videos” stored in a Google photos app, according to   
   investigators. One image that was recovered allegedly showed the   
   boy in the faculty bathroom with his genitals exposed.   
      
   An arrest warrant was issued for McDonald after investigators   
   concluded that he used “an elaborate plan to entice, coerce and   
   encourage (the boy) into using the faculty bathroom for the   
   purpose of secretly recording him using the bathroom to obtain   
   nude pictures.”   
      
   McDonald was later found sitting in his car in a parking lot in   
   Blackstone with a letter that said he could “no longer live with   
   the demons that exist in his head,” according to police. He was   
   then taken into custody.   
      
   McDonald has since posted bail. He is due in court on Monday   
   morning.   
      
   Bellingham Public Schools released a lengthy statement on   
   McDonald’s arrest, which read in part, “As an educator and a   
   parent I am absolutely appalled anytime a teacher violates the   
   awesome trust and responsibility given to teachers by the   
   parents of the children placed in our care on a daily basis. We   
   will not tolerate any behavior by any member of the staff or   
   faculty of our school district that violates that trust.”   
      
   Parent Doreen Salvado said, “I thought he was great. Very   
   popular. He was a cool teacher. He was a coach. (Now, I think)   
   the opposite.”
