Overland Park choir director charged with sexual exploitation

Prosecutors in Kansas say an high school choir director from Overland Park has been charged with two counts of alleged sexual exploitation of a child and two counts of breach of privacy.

Forty-five-year-old Joseph Martin Heidesch was charged on Thursday following his arrest Wednesday morning.

Investigators say the Saint Thomas Aquinas High School choir director allegedly was found with images of a child engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

Officials also say he allegedly used a hidden camera to secretly record two victims as they were undressing.

The school says Heidesch has been placed on administrative leave.
