Director of Youth Ministries Charged With Voyeurism After Hidden Camera Found in Bathroom Used By Children

After a hidden video camera was discovered in a bathroom used by children at a Baptist church, a Florida man was arrested on felony video voyeurism charges.

According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, 37-year-old David Patrick Nims was charged with one count of video voyeurism by a person 18 or older who is responsible for the welfare of a child younger than 16. This is a felony in the second degree.

An arrest report states that a 14-year-old discovered a webcam in the church’s men’s restroom on Sunday morning. He then notified church officials, who called the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

According to the report, the camera was “connected to the drain pipe underneath the sink in the stall.” It was “facing the toilet on which he was sitting.”
