A music teacher has admitted taking indecent photographs of girls after hiding a camera in his office and bathroom to film girls undressing.

Christopher Bell, 38, of Norwich, admitted making indecent photographs of six girls aged between 12 and 15.

He also admitted voyeurism after Norwich Magistrates' Court heard how he filmed three adult women undressing in his bathroom.

Bell was released on bail and will be sentenced later by a crown court judge.

Douglas Mackay, prosecuting told magistrates that Bell had committed the offences between 1996 and 2006.

Computer images

He said he had persuaded one 13-year-old girl to change in his office for a school musical then filmed with the hidden camera.

The court heard he also filmed teenage girls undressing in his bathroom after inviting them to his house.

Mr Mackay said Bell was also a choirmaster at a Catholic church.

The court heard indecent images had been found on Bell's computer and Bell admitted a total of 10 offences.
