ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - A former newspaper reporter accused of hiding a camera in a women’s bathroom at the building where he worked has been indicted.
Forty-five-year-old Conor Makem of Dover has been indicted on 19 charges of invasion of privacy and one charge of falsifying physical evidence.
Fosters Daily Democrat reports (https://bit.ly/1aMfWsV ) that Makem’s Irish passport has been seized and he’s signed a waiver of extradiction.
A woman discovered the camera on Oct. 7 in the Merchants’ Plaza building. Police say she showed it to Makem, who told her it wasn’t a camera and then threw it away.
Police later took his laptop, work computer and cell phone.
Makem was fired. It is not immediately known if he is being represented by a lawyer. A phone number listed for him is not in service.
