Jacob Robert McCoy, 35, was charged with felony indecent liberties with a child, felony second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, felony secret peeping and felony failure to inform the sheriff’s office of an online identifier as a registered sex offender.
McCoy allegedly committed “lewd and lascivious acts on a child, recorded the child performing a sex act in a bathtub and planted a camera to peep on another person.” Warrants included a November date for the sex acts involving a child. The charges of peeping have a date range of March through May 2020.
