Seattle ex-ski coach admits to filming teenage girls undressing

By Eric M. Johnson
SEATTLE, Nov 2 (Reuters) - A former Seattle private school
cross-country ski coach pleaded guilty on Monday to a sex crime
charge for secretly filming teenage girls changing clothes or
exiting the shower on annual trips to Canada, a U.S. Attorney's
Office official said.
Jason Paur, 45, faces up to 10 years in federal prison when
he is sentenced on Feb. 2, said Emily Langlie, a spokeswoman for
the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle.
Paur pleaded guilty to knowingly transporting the girls in
interstate and foreign commerce with intent to produce child
pornography, according to a charging document.
He was arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in
December 2013 at the Silver Star ski resort near Vernon, British
Columbia after the girls found a camera hidden in their bedroom.

An investigation revealed that Paur had secretly filmed
students on such trips in 2011 and 2012, and that police found
images of students aged 14 to 17 being filmed while changing
clothes or after leaving the shower.
An indictment from September 2014 said Paur traveled with
the students "to Canada knowing that he planned to film them for
his own sexual gratification."
Paur was later fired by the Bush School, located in a leafy
neighborhood near downtown Seattle, where he had coached for
more than 15 years.
"Our first and highest priority continues to be the healing
and recovery of those affected by Paur's actions," school
officials said in a statement on Monday.
Paur's guilty plea means that the victims from the 2013 ski
trip will not be asked to testify in court, the statement added.
