“Responding officers were informed that (the teen) had seen nude videos on Edmond’s phone of herself in the shower that were taken unbeknownst to her,” court records showed.

While investigating, police found two holes in the bathroom, where cameras were likely placed to record the videos, police wrote in the statement of facts.

We contacted Centerville police about the case, however Officer John Davis declined comment since the alleged crime involved a juvenile victim.

After search warrants were conducted on Edmond’s Google account, three separately dated videos of the teen were located, the court document read.

“The videos show the juvenile in the nude getting into the shower,” court records revealed.

According to court records, “Edmond admitted to installing a camera in the bathroom to use as a light and he admitted to knowledge of one video and claimed that this was an accident.”

We’ve reached out to Edmond’s attorney for comment, however have not heard back.

Edmond remained in the Montgomery County Jail on Wednesday on a $50,000 bond and was awaiting a May 7 preliminary hearing, records showed.
