Ex-Davidson College Electrician Charged with Secret Peeping Over Decade-Long Span

A former Davidson College electrician has been arrested and charged with secret peeping, a felony, after being accused of covertly filming individuals over a period extending more than a decade. Jeremy Whitworth, 49, from Mooresville, came under police custody last Saturday and is alleged to have exploited his position, which granted him complete access to the college’s facilities. Searches for any remaining hidden cameras on campus are ongoing, with Mooresville Police extending a call to those who had Whitworth do electrical work for them to reach out, according to

QC News.

Davidson College President Doug Hicks expressed his tumult of apologies and anger at the revelation, labeling the incident as “very distressing” in a communication to the campus.

. The college acknowledged that the actions Whitworth is accused of are in stark violation of the trust and safety expected on campus.

“I can tell you that we have literally dozens and dozens of videos that go back past 15 years,” Mooresville Police Department Chief Ron Campurciani described the extent of the evidence, according to a press conference covered by

. Whitworth’s home yielded hard drives, computers, and cell phones containing footage taken from various restrooms, including some within his residence and on the college campus. The police are now broadening their investigation as they suspect Whitworth might have recorded more victims while doing private electric work.

Whitworth, who is out on bond, did not respond to a phone message from The

. Davidson College has assured the public that they are cooperating with authorities and encourages anyone with information or who may be a victim to contact the Mooresville Police Department.
