As previously reported by News Center 7, he was also indicted on 40 counts of voyeurism and two counts of unauthorized use of computer/telecommunications property.
An investigation into Currie was launched after a family member of his found what appeared to be voyeuristic material on his phone.
A search warrant was executed on Currie and his electronic devices, which led investigators to discover that he had allegedly been stalking a 17-year-old Oakwood High School student.
Montgomery County Prosecuting Attorney Mat Heck, Jr. said on Tuesday that Currie allegedly took multiple videos of the teen in a state of nudity through her bedroom window.
“It’s very shocking, it’s something you would never suspect to happen to you, particularly in the confines of your own home,” said Oakwood Police Chief Allen Hill.
Currie is also accused of trying to film up girls’ skirts at Oakwood High School as he walked through the auditorium.
Currie was previously the Managing Attorney at Advocates for Basic Legal Equality and was “instrumental” in the founding of the Gem City Market.
