A Florida high school fashion teacher already accused of video voyeurism was hit with a whopping 353 more charges after hundreds of images of girls were found on his cell phones and other devices, authorities say. The videos and images of students were taken secretly in a changing area of Mark Ackett's classroom at Bloomingdale High School in Tampa.

Ackett had been arrested last month on a single charge after a 17-year-old student discovered two hidden cell phones. However, a forensic examination of his devices found an additional 267 videos and images of girls "in various stages of undress," according to cops. The girls ranged in age from 14 to 18.

Ackett, 50, turned himself in to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office on Monday. The additional charges include 267 counts of video voyeurism, 73 counts of production of harmful material of a minor, and 13 counts of possession of child porn. He told investigators he began recording students in January 2017, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The student who initially reported Ackett told staff she was wearing only a bra and panties when she noticed two boxes in the changing room that had holes for camera lenses. Ackett resigned after the cameras were discovered.

1. 'Fashion' teacher? We never had a 'fashion' teacher when I attended high school.

2. That was my wife's major

Fashion Design and Promotion. She was active even in high school. Not sure if this is the same. It is usually part of Home Economics.

It turned out to be a pretty useless major for her because you have to come up the ranks in sales, and she was not very good at sales.

3. A volunteer position I presume. nt
