WEIRTON, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia dentist is facing charges after police said a hidden camera was allegedly present in the worker restroom at his practice.
Dr. Jeremy Michael Crow turned himself in to Weirton police on Monday. Crow, 45, of Washington, Pennsylvania, was charged with 39 counts of criminal invasion of privacy, Police Chief Charlie Kush said in a news release.
A call to Crow’s office went to voicemail Tuesday, and a message left for him was not immediately returned.
Crow’s attorney, Robert McCoid of Wheeling, said in a press release that after reviewing the allegations, he “has concluded that the government’s charges are thin soup at best. We look forward to reviewing the prosecution’s evidence in the courtroom and look forward to his acquittal before a jury of his peers.”
The statement added that Crow will proceed his dental practice.
According to Kush, an worker reported finding the camera in a water bottle within the restroom utilized by employees in Crow’s office in May. During the investigation, at the least 10 female employees reported seeing the identical device. Kush said there was no evidence that cameras were installed within the office’s public restroom.
Crow was released on $20,000 bail after the arraignment, the police statement said.
Weirton is situated about 35 miles (60 kilometers) west of Pittsburgh.
