Ex-fashion design teacher who spied on students sentenced to 15 years in prison

A former Hillsborough County teacher who secretly recorded students undressing in 2018 was sentenced Monday to 15 years in Florida state prison.

Thereafter, the judge ordered Mark Ackett to be on sex offender probation for the rest of his life.

The 52-year-old earlier pleaded guilty to 324 counts of video voyeurism. His plea was an "open plea," which left his sentence at the court's discretion based on the facts and what the state is seeking, among other things.

"This is a difficult case," Judge Laura Ward said. "No one here wins today."
