Thomas Andrew Eagleson, 45, was denied bond April 12 after being charged with two felony counts of unlawful filming of a juvenile and three misdemeanor counts of unlawful filming of adults.
Albemarle police say Eagleson, who lives in the 3100 block of Turnberry Circle, was pet sitting for his neighbors in March when he installed a hidden camera in their master bathroom. Confiscated footage showed each of the family members using the restroom and showering.
In 2008, local Delegate Rob Bell carried a bill that was passed by the General Assembly that made third offense unlawful filming a felony.
Several items were taken from Eagleson’s home as part of an ongoing investigation and he may face additional charges, police said in a press release.
He also faces two counts of breaking and entering related to the unlawful filming and will appear in Albemarle County General District court April 13 at 10am.
