According to a motion filed in the Webcam-spying case involving Philadelphia’s Lower Merion School District, the school administrators wrongly used the school-issued laptop computer cameras to capture images of students.

The laptops, which students can take home after paying an insurance fee, are installed with the LANrev webcam security system that can be used if the laptop is reported lost, missing or stolen. Allegedly, Webcam shots taken using the LANRev software were sent them back to school district servers, where employees could easily view them.

Presenting astonishing suggestions about the frequency and intimate nature of the images allegedly taken remotely by the school authorities, lawyers for 15-year-old Blake Robbins and his family – who filed the lawsuit in February - said on Thursday that the images included “pictures of Blake partially undressed and of Blake sleeping.”

However, with the school district authorities denying that their actions were illegal or inappropriate, the school district attorney Henry Hockeimer referred CNN to a letter that board president David Ebby posted on the district's Web site, saying that there had been no “spying” on the students.

Ebby wrote: “While we deeply regret the mistakes and misguided actions that have led us to this situation, at this late stage of the investigation, we are not aware of any evidence that District employees used any LANrev webcam photographs or screenshots for such inappropriate purposes.”
