Portland, OR, August 22, 2026 —

Cottonwood, Arizona – Chester Cox, a 31-year-old elementary school teacher at Dr. Daniel Bright Elementary School, is now facing allegations of installing hidden cameras within his classroom and an adjacent bathroom.

The specific details regarding the timeline of the alleged camera installations and the duration of the alleged recordings were not immediately available. The investigation into these new allegations is ongoing. Information regarding potential charges related to the hidden cameras has not yet been released.

Dr. Daniel Bright Elementary School is located in Cottonwood, Arizona. Further details on the school’s response to the allegations and the status of Cox’s employment are expected as the investigation progresses.
