Hidden Camera Found In Hershey School By Students

HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) — An employee at the Milton Hershey School in central Pennsylvania has been fired after a hidden video camera was found in the boys bathroom.

School officials said police were called Friday after students reported finding a small digital camera in a bathroom and showers of a dormitory at the transitional living facility, a dorm-like setting that houses high school seniors.

The school said in a statement that a male staff member was questioned and then fired. The employee was not identified.

Derry Township police declined to comment about the ongoing investigation.

The Milton Hershey School is a free, private, co-ed boarding school for children from low-income families. It was established by Milton Hershey, founder of the Hershey Chocolate Co.
