Ryan Jarvis, a former teacher, was found guilty of voyeurism for secretly recording 27 female students aged 14 to 18 using a hidden camera. Although the court acknowledged that his actions were morally objectionable and a breach of trust, they initially acquitted him due to a lack of sexual intent. Ultimately, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled on the students' reasonable expectation of privacy, leading to his conviction and sentencing to six months in jail.
