Charges have been dropped against a uniformed FBI police officer who was accused of watching teen girls try on prom gowns in a dressing room during a fashion show at a West Virginia mall last year, WBOY TV reported Tuesday.
A Marion County magistrate judge last December found FBI police officer Charles Hommema guilty of criminal invasion of privacy and not guilty of conspiracy, the tv station reported.
Authorities had charged Hommema and fellow FBI police officer Garry Sutton Jr. were working in an FBI satellite control room at the Middletown Mall in Fairmont, W. Va., when they positioned a camera on temporary changing rooms and zoomed in for at least 90 minutes on girls dressing for the Cinderella Project fashion show.
Sutton pleaded guilty to conspiracy, but Hommema appealed his conviction.
The station reported that the prosecution decided there was insufficient evidence to retry him.
