Greater Nanticoke Area school board member facing charges of invasion of privacy
A Greater Nanticoke Area School District board member set up cameras and secretly recorded nude images of a woman he'd become enamored with after meeting her during counseling sessions when she was in the sixth grade, police said.
Matthew Joseph Landmesser, 42, was charged Monday with a felony count of intercepting communications and three misdemeanor counts of invasion of privacy.
Police said Landmesser met the woman when she was in the sixth grade. He worked at a counseling service and was her case worker, the charges said.
For the past three years, the woman has been living at Landmesser's home at 400 E. Union St., although she described their relationship as only friendly, according to the complaint.
Police obtained the video file where they say the victim can be seen “day to day living,” including changing clothes.
Landmesser can be seen setting up the cameras, including unsuccessfully installing one in the residence’s bathroom.
Police say he was also seen smelling the victim’s clothes and performing sexual acts on the victim’s property.
During the investigation, police recovered Landmesser’s computer where they found a document from approximately 5 years ago in which he professes his love for the victim.
