The FBI has charged an Iowa elementary school principal with receiving child pornography for allegedly installing a hidden video camera in the boys' bathroom.

Robert Burke, 43, was led from his Dubuque home in handcuffs this morning about 9 CT as agents removed boxes and envelopes, a neighbor told the Telegraph Herald. Burke is principal of Sageville Elementary School.

According to the criminal complaint, an FBI agent in Washington, D.C., downloaded eight depictions of child pornography April 10 from a computer that was later traced to Burke's home, KCRG-TV reports.

The FBI said Burke admitted installing the camera and making images of students using the bathroom but denied touching any in a sexual manner.

He was due in federal court in Cedar Rapids this afternoon.
