The identity of a former WA school teacher who indecently recorded several dozen children can finally be revealed after a suppression order on his name was lifted.

Christopher Ryan Jones, 31, entered guilty pleas earlier this year to 62 charges, including 57 counts of indecently recording a child.

Christopher Ryan Jones has been jailed for five years.

He also pleaded guilty to possessing and producing child exploitation material.

Most of his offending relates to the indecent recording of children both inside and outside of schools. The children were aged between 6 and 15.
