UNC student charged with secret peeping after hidden camera found in bathroom

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) -- A University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student is facing charges after someone allegedly found a secret camera in multiple places, including a bathroom.

Marshall Ragsdale, 19, is accused of using a camera pen to record people.

Ragsdale, of Greensboro, allegedly was seen placing the camera inside a dormitory bathroom at Craige Residence Hall, where he lived.

He is accused of recording a person inside a public bathroom in an academic building. A student who also lives at Craige reported finding the camera pen equipped with a micro SD card to store video on.

When investigators reviewed the micro SD card, they found 33 videos recorded. Some showed the suspect moving the pen and placing it in the bathroom. It was moved several times to point to different areas, according to the search warrant.

Other videos showed the pen being slid underneath bathroom stalls. Investigators worked with other UNC staffers to identify Ragsdale as the suspect, the search warrant showed.

Ragsdale was charged by campus police and faces eight counts of felony secret peeping.
