LAUREL, Md - A Laurel city police corporal has been indicted on charges that
he secretly videotaped his girlfriend's teenage daughter in her
bedroom.
Edward Charles Schmitt, 37, is charged with one count of
sexual abuse of a minor, two counts of visual surveillance and one
count of camera surveillance.
Charging documents say he hid the video camera in the girl's bedroom closet and taped her from August 2009 to February 2010.
The corporal is also accused of photographing himself performing a lewd act.
Laurel police said in a statement Friday that Schmitt had been suspended since Howard County officers began investigating the case in May.
