On Oct. 16, a Vandalia school reported a child disclosed Winston sexually assaulted them two days earlier, according to court records.

An investigation revealed Winston had a hidden camera in a private bathroom and recorded two juveniles while they were showering and changing in the bathroom, an affidavit read.

He reportedly made 294 photos of the juveniles.

“William B. Winston has downloaded over 1,000 photos of other children in various states of nudity from a Russian photo sharing website,” an affidavit stated.

A hundred of the photos were taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital. A doctor verified 61 images included children younger than 14 and 35 images had children younger than 18, according to court records.
