Parents concerned after school janitor arrested

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (AP) – Parents are expressing concerns after a janitor at a Middle Tennessee elementary school was accused of spying on girls in a bathroom.

The Tennessean reports 48-year-old Victor Manuel Alvarado of Antioch remained jailed Monday in Williamson County on a charge of observation without consent. It wasn’t immediately clear whether he had an attorney.

Alvarado had worked at Scales Elementary School in Brentwood for two years, though he was employed by Ohio-based GCA Services Group, which holds a contract with the school.

Parents raised questions during a school meeting about whether Alvarado was properly vetted before being hired.

School and GCA officials say proper background checks were made but turned up nothing.

Cleveland-based GCA Services Group says Alvarado was fired after being charged.
