BENTON, La. (AP) - A Louisiana elementary school teacher is accused of rape and video voyeurism of children.

News agencies report that Benton Elementary School physical education teacher Aubrey "Perry" Norcross was arrested Wednesday on a charge of video voyeurism, and the rape charge was added Friday. The two charges involve different children.

Superintendent Scott Smith and psychologist Grady Bray held a news conference Saturday about the district's efforts to help families. Bray says numerous families have met with his team. Smith says a community meeting will be held Tuesday evening in the Benton High School gym.

Bond for Norcross was set at $900,000. It's unclear if he has an attorney.
