Syracuse, NY - A North Syracuse man was indicted today on charges he spied on one neighbor and illegally used the computer access of another neighbor.
Jesse Reed, 29, of 115 Crystal Drive, was indicted on a felony charge of second-degree unlawful surveillance and a misdemeanor count of unauthorized use of a computer.
Assistant District Attorney Geoffrey Ciereck said the investigation began with Syracuse police looking into the downloading of child pornography. The person initially under scrutiny turned out to have been the victim of someone using his computer access to obtain the pornography, the prosecutor said.
That led authorities to Reed, Ciereck said. While police were investigating the child pornography matter, they also discovered equipment had been set up in Reed’s home to spy into the bedroom window of a female neighbor, the prosecutor said.
That led to the charges in today’s indictment. Federal officials are pursuing child pornography charges against Reed.
