En julio 21, 2024, the Beach Haven Police Department received a report that a 15 year-old female had been videotaped as she was taking a shower at a rental property in Beach Haven. An investigation by the Beach Haven Police Department identified Lyons as the suspect. A search warrant was then executed on the subject rental property – where Lyons was residing – and a number of electronic devices belonging to Lyons were seized. Lyons was taken into custody and charged accordingly. Fue transportado a la cárcel del condado de Ocean y posteriormente liberado como consecuencia de la reforma de la fianza de Nueva Jersey..
A digital forensic review of the seized electronic items was conducted by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crime Squad. That review revealed that Lyons had surreptitiously recorded a juvenile victim and an adult victim in various stages of undress in a bathroom at another rental property in Beach Haven in July 2023. Additional videos appeared to have been taken in a bathroom at Lyons’ Pennsylvania residence. The Beach Haven Police Department contacted the Abington Township Police Department in Pennsylvania with respect to their findings. Como consecuencia, Lyons was charged with a number of similar offenses in that jurisdiction; those charges remain pending.
El Fiscal Billhimer reconoce los esfuerzos diligentes de la Fiscal Adjunta Lynn Juan quien lleva el caso en nombre del Estado., and commends the Beach Haven Police Department, Equipo contra delitos de alta tecnología de la Oficina del Fiscal del Condado de Ocean, and Abington Township (Pensilvania) Departamento de Policia, por sus esfuerzos colectivos en relación con esta investigación.
