Former Davidson College employee faces more peeping charges after alleged victim identifies herself in videos
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A former Davidson College facilities employee who was arrested last year on peeping charges is now facing additional charges after an alleged victim came forward. Jeremy Michael Whitworth, of Mooresville, was arrested on Nov. 2 and charged with one count of secret peeping. He was released from the Iredell County jail after posting bond. After detectives executed a search warrant on his residence and vehicles, they seized several hard drives containing images and/or video, a 'Go Pro' style camera and a cellphone. After detectives analyzed the contents on the hard drives, it was believed that Whitworth was conducting secret surveillance on the Davidson College campus. Whitworth confessed that he secretly recorded videos and images of women while he was on duty at the college. According to court documents, he did not say which locations on campus he had recorded, specific people he recorded, or if there were any active recording devices currently on campus. Queen City News is tracking CRIME in your area 🚨 >> On Tuesday, Nov. 26, Mooresville police began reviewing video from a camera placed in a women's restroom on campus. The video allegedly showed a woman wearing dark pants, black shoes and a large set of keys hanging from her belt loop. She also appeared to have a mark on her lower right butt cheek. The keys were the same type of keys Davidson College employees use on campus. The video was recorded on May 21, 2020, at 1:07 p.m. The same employee was recorded at the same location on multiple occasions. This led to investigators contacting the director of human resources at the college to inquire about the current and former employees who worked for the physical plant department from May 21, 2020, to Feb. 26, 2021. On March 21, officers spoke with a woman who identified herself as the person in the videos. She told detectives that one time she saw Whitworth coming out of the women's restroom and when she questioned him about it, he said 'The men's restroom was nasty'. When she checked the men's restroom, she said it was clean. The woman was able to identify her clothing from the videos and told officers she wanted to press charges. Now, Whitworth faces two more counts of felony secret peeping. He was given a $10,000 unsecured bond and has since been released. His next court appearance is set for May 12.
