Catholic School Teacher Gets 19 Years For Child Porn, Was Arrested Upon Return From Anti-Abortion March

The St. Louis Riverfront Times reports:

A Lincoln County man who admitted to hiding cameras in bathrooms at a St. Charles children’s amusement center and a Catholic church in Troy, Missouri, was sentenced to 19 years in prison yesterday. Jeffery Eisenbath, 33, placed the cameras in the Adrenaline Zone, an indoor facility off First Capitol Drive with laser tag and bumper cars, as well as in Sacred Heart Catholic Church, where Eisenbath was a parishioner and taught religious classes to 8th graders.

According to the probable cause statement, Eisenbath couldn’t immediately be arrested because he was at the 2018 anti-abortion March for Life in Washington, D.C. (then-president Donald Trump spoke at the event that year). Eisenbath then admitted to the crimes and soon found himself facing a slew of child pornography and invasion of privacy charges in St. Charles and Lincoln counties, as well as federal charges for also hiding a camera in the bathroom of a private residence in Pennsylvania.

According to the Archdiocese, Eisenbath was the youth chaperone on that trip to the anti-abortion march.
