Former Ohio legal aid attorney Matthew Nicholas Currie, 50, is facing a mountain of felony charges for what prosecutors say<\/a> is a disturbing stalking campaign of a teenager and other women. The charges include 40 counts of voyeurism; 49 counts of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material; and two counts of unauthorized use of a computer, cable or telecommunication property. <\/p>\n

Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr. says the investigation began in October of 2024, when a relative of Currie found disturbing images in his phone. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe search revealed that the defendant stalked a 17-year-old Oakwood High School student. The defendant went to her residence on numerous occasions and surreptitiously photographed and videotaped her in her bedroom through her windows, including in various states of nudity, obviously, all without her knowledge,\u201d Heck said.<\/p>\n

Authorities say that after the victim left for college, Currie expanded his activities to include other women. Four victims have been identified so far.<\/p>\n

\u201cA 91-count indictment does not happen by accident,\u201d said Oakwood Chief Alan Hill. \u201cThere\u2019s a tremendous amount of work that goes into preparing a case like this. \u2026 From this point forward, this is about holding his person accountable for his actions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currie left his job at the Advocates for Basic Legal Equality this past summer, after a Parkinson\u2019s diagnosis. He is scheduled to be arraigned January 20th. <\/p>\n
