Former EMS chief accused of using hidden camera to record women in bathroom
Authorities say Jason McCully used the hidden camera to record women between October 26, 2021, and May 24, 2022.
ELVERSON, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- A former chief of an emergency services department in Berks County, Pennsylvania is accused of secretly recording at least 11 women in the bathroom.
The discovery was made back on May 24, 2022, when Caernarvon Township police say they found a hidden camera installed in the women's restroom at the Elverson-Honeybrook Area EMS building headquarters.
Officials said the camera was concealed in a toiletry bag that was positioned on the sink.
Authorities say 39-year-old Jason McCully used the hidden camera to record women, some of whom were underage, between October 26, 2021, and May 24, 2022.
None of the victims had prior knowledge that they were being recorded.
McCully was the chief of the Elverson-Honeybrook Area EMS at the time of the crimes, according to investigators.
After a search warrant, authorities say they found pictures of women using the EMS restroom stored on McCully's phone.
McCully was arrested on Monday.
"He took ownership of the bag and he acknowledged that it was his and the camera that was located in the bag was also his," Berks County District Attorney John Adams said.
He is facing a long list of charges including sexual abuse of children and possession of child pornography.
Authorities have since executed a search warrant for more electronic devices owned by the suspect to see if there might be even more victims.
McCully remains behind bars in lieu of $250,000 bail.
