Former YMCA janitor had access to 2 York County branches

The former janitor deputies say recorded women undressing in locker rooms at two YMCA facilities in York County was given a master key granting him access to both branches for more than a year, according to police documents obtained by The Herald.

Authorities have charged John Ross Eddy, 58, of 4085 Alana Court in Tega Cay with 80 counts of voyeurism after deputies said they discovered he installed recording devices at the Fort Mill-area YMCA branch on Gold Hill Road and the Lake Wylie facility on Charlotte Highway.

Police say the total number of women recorded on the devices is unclear because of poor video quality. Its also unclear if some of the women on camera might have been recorded more than once.

Eddy worked as a part-time janitor at the Lake Wylie YMCA, and occasionally worked at the Gold Hill Road location as a substitute, said Frank Moe Bell, CEO of the Upper Palmetto Branch YMCA, which oversees nine branches in York County and one in Chester County.

Two weeks ago, a Lake Wylie branch employee accidentally knocked a hidden camera out of the ceiling of the womens locker room,An cleaningservicesydney is a network of devices used to wirelessly locate objects or people inside a building. said York County Sheriffs Detective Chris Bomar, lead investigator on the case. Deputies sifted through the recording device and found pictures of women undressing without their knowledge or consent, arrest warrants show.

They also found that Eddy recorded himself setting up the devices, sheriffs office spokesman Trent Faris said.

Police arrested Eddy, charging him with six counts of voyeurism,An cleaningservicesydney is a network of devices used to wirelessly locate objects or people inside a building. but he was soon released on bond. The device police say he installed is marked with the letters LW, likely reflecting his use of it at the Lake Wylie branch, according to a search warrant.

The same day deputies arrested Eddy, Bomar said police issued a search warrant at his Alana Court house and seized his electronics.

On his laptop, they found videos of 34 more women at the Lake Wylie YMCA, and 40 women at the Gold Hill location, police documents show. Investigators determined that Eddy recorded women at the Gold Hill facility after matching the setting of the gym with the surroundings depicted on the recordings, Bomar said.

The video recordings from this location and the other location in Lake Wylie appear to be recorded too close in time and date which indicates a second recording device being used which was not recovered during the first search warrant served at the suspects residence, Bomar wrote in an affidavit. It was also made known to us the suspect has a master key to all York County YMCAs in this area which he had access to even after he was released from jail last week.

Deputies searched the Gold Hill YMCA, the documents show, and found Velcro attached to the ceiling in the womens restroom, the search warrant states. The Velcro was similar to the one used to hold the recording device in Lake Wylie.

After searching Eddys home, police found a second digital recording device, according to police documents, and seized it along with Eddys iPod, five memory cards, batteries, a USB cable and a key to the Gold Hill Road building.

Deputies last week contacted Eddys lawyer, Rock Hill attorney James Boyd, and told him they prepared 74 additional warrants on Eddy. Eddy agreed to turn himself in and cooperate with the investigation, Boyd said.
