A middle school teacher accused of molesting 11 children and secretly videotaping female students changing clothes has pleaded not guilty to the charges, prosecutors said.
Neal Sato, 34, entered the plea Thursday in San Mateo County Superior Court to 14 counts of child molestation and one count of possessing child pornography.
Sato was a teacher and athletic director at San Carlos’ Central Middle School when he allegedly hid cameras in locker rooms and offices and directed certain students to change there, police said.
He remains free on $600,000 bail.
