Former
Ohio
legal
aid
attorney
Matthew
Nicholas
Currie,
50,
is
facing
a
mountain
of
felony
charges
for
what
prosecutors
say
is
a
disturbing
stalking
campaign
of
a
teenager
and
other
women.
The
charges
include
40
counts
of
voyeurism;
49
counts
of
illegal
use
of
a
minor
in
nudity-oriented
material;
and
two
counts
of
unauthorized
use
of
a
computer,
cable
or
telecommunication
property.
Prosecutor
Mat
Heck
Jr.
says
the
investigation
began
in
October
of
2024,
when
a
relative
of
Currie
found
disturbing
images
in
his
phone.
“The
search
revealed
that
the
defendant
stalked
a
17-year-old
Oakwood
High
School
student.
The
defendant
went
to
her
residence
on
numerous
occasions
and
surreptitiously
photographed
and
videotaped
her
in
her
bedroom
through
her
windows,
including
in
various
states
of
nudity,
obviously,
all
without
her
knowledge,”
Heck
said.
Authorities
say
that
after
the
victim
left
for
college,
Currie
expanded
his
activities
to
include
other
women.
Four
victims
have
been
identified
so
far.
“A
91-count
indictment
does
not
happen
by
accident,”
said
Oakwood
Chief
Alan
Hill.
“There’s
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
that
goes
into
preparing
a
case
like
this.
…
From
this
point
forward,
this
is
about
holding
his
person
accountable
for
his
actions.”
Currie
left
his
job
at
the
Advocates
for
Basic
Legal
Equality
this
past
summer,
after
a
Parkinson’s
diagnosis.
He
is
scheduled
to
be
arraigned
January
20th.
