An Alpena man has been charged after authorities reported he recorded a young girl with a concealed camera in a bathroom.
Troopers from the Alpena County area responded on Wednesday after a woman discovered nude images of a girl on the phone belonging to a 41-year-old man from Alpena, as reported by Michigan State Police. The agency shared details about the incident on X, previously referred to as Twitter, on Friday morning.
Authorities report that the explicit photos were allegedly captured with a concealed borescope in a residence’s bathroom.
An inspection camera known as a borescope is utilized to examine hard-to-reach areas.
According to Michigan State Police Specialist Lt. Derrick Carroll, the girl was under the age of 18. He chose not to elaborate any further.
Authorities reported that the man was both interviewed and taken into custody.
On Thursday, he faced arraignment in the 88th District Court for two charges related to capturing or distributing an image of an unclothed individual, along with one charge of using a computer to commit a crime.
A bond of $25,000 was set, either in cash or surety.
