ANDERSON — A 43-year-old Anderson man allegedly used hidden cameras, images and videos to exploit hundreds of women – including teenagers and children.
The man faces charges of ten counts of possession of child pornography, two counts of photographing sexual conduct of a minor, 13 counts of voyeurism and three counts of videotaping sexual conduct of a minor.
According to court documents, the man would record females of all ages through cameras placed inside a public restroom, the bathroom in his homes and even through windows.
The case against the man first opened when Google flagged numerous online images as child pornography and contacted The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The national center then contacted the Hamilton County Metro Child Exploitation Task Force. That task force works cases in Hamliton, Hancock, Madison and Tipton counties.
During the investigation, the task force found at least 140 instances since 2016 in which the man recorded teens and women undressed.
He had 424 images saved online of girls as young as nine.
The Anderson man would place cameras inside of HVAC vents, closets and even electrical outlets inside his home and former workplace.
