No contact order issued in video voyeurism case

CUMBERLAND -- A 36-year-old man accused of secretly videotaping his fiancée’s teenage daughter as she showered was ordered today not to contact the family.

Gerard Dubois, of Rathbun Street in Blackstone, Mass., was released on personal recognizance and ordered to return to court in June.

Police allege Dubois installed a tiny surveillance camera in a radio in his fiancée’s shower and used it to record his fiancée’s 19-year-old daughter.

The teenager told police that last month she found an unmarked videocassette in the kitchen that showed her taking a shower in their Cumberland home. She said that the video was made without her consent.

She then told police that she found the camera inside the shower radio. That’s when Dubois’ fianceé called police. She said Dubois had recently installed the radio.

Dubois faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison and a $5,000 fine on a charge of video voyeurism.

He’s scheduled for a June 11 arraignment in Superior Court.
