Lake County church leader arrested for video voyeurism, sheriff says

A Fruitland Park man was arrested Friday after topless and other inappropriate photos of adolescent girls and recordings from inside a bathroom at a local church were found on his work computer, according to an arrest report from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

Lake deputies say Charles Barton Lucas, 59, who is listed as an “overseer” on the website of Heritage Community Church in Fruitland Park, was arrested for five counts of video voyeurism.

Deputies arrested Lucas after the IT director at Lucas’ employer, RoMac Building Supply, found files on his computer during an upgrade, including what appeared to be inappropriate photographs of adults and adolescent girls, according to the arrest report.

Further investigation revealed more photos and videos on a cloud drive that showed adolescent girls changing clothes and making use of a church bathroom after a baptism service. The sheriff’s office did not say during what time period the photos and videos were captured, though said some date to the early 2000s. The arrest report noted the church’s pastor was cooperative and assisting investigators.

How many fucking hypocritical pastors/youth leaders/good christians is this? I swear, any parent who takes their kids to one of these places needs to be cited for placing their child in the way of imminent harm!
