According to the lawsuit, a staff member first discovered a cell phone hidden in a bathroom stall on Oct. 21, 2021.
Mogollan is slated to be sentenced next month in a Chula Vista courtroom following his pleas to one felony count of possessing matter depicting a person under 18 in sexual conduct and four misdemeanor counts of invading the privacy of another with a concealed camera for the purpose of sexual gratification.
His sentence will include stipulations to serving one year in county jail, a requirement to register as a sex offender, and an order to stay away from all schools.
