A 31-year-old Ormond Beach man has been arrested after allegedly video recording a 12-year-old girl in the bathroom.
The man, Tyler Habdas, was arrested on May 10. Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies have been investigating Habdas since late January, when a woman told deputies that he had recorded her daughter in the shower, according to Habdas’ arrest report.
Habdas has been charged with six counts of unlawful use of a communication device, one count of child abuse and three counts of video voyeurism of a child under 16.
The woman, who lives in Flagler County, called deputies on Jan. 30.
She told deputies her daughter found Habdas’ phone in a bathrobe, recording her while she showered.
Deputies served a search warrant for Habdas’ phone in February, the arrest report said.
The phone was sent to the St. John’s County Sheriff’s Office for analysis.
On the phone, deputies found multiple videos of the child in the bathroom, with multiple thumbnail images created from the videos.
Deputies believe the recordings were taken between June 2022 and the end of January.
Habdas was booked at the Flagler County jail and released on bond the same day.
