A high school teacher, who zoomed in for close-up shots of the girls' crotches, was charged under Texas' "peeping Tom" law for filming girls' wrestling matches for his sexual gratification.

David Ware, 28, the first-year speech and drama teacher has been charged by police this week on charges of improper visual recording, which carries up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Grand Prairie Sgt. John Brimmer, who reviewed Ware's tape blamed him of shooting the indecent two hours of videotape at an all-day tournament Saturday. Ware's school however was not participating in the match.

"This was more than accidental footage of the genital areas," Brimmer said. "It appeared to be a purposeful act of zooming in."

According to police, Ware was charged under a 2001 law aimed at protecting people from ultra-small cameras that can be used to peek into dressing rooms or up women's skirts. Under the law, filming a person without consent for sexual arousal is a felony.

However, Ware's attorney, Scott Palmer, said Ware was simply interested in wrestling adding, "How do you draw the line?"

"If you go to a Cowboys game and take a close-up shot of their cleavage, are you committing the same offense because you think that has sex appeal?" he added.
