Sgt Timothy Richissin Faces More Charges of Voyeurism

A police officer already accused of recording women with a hidden bathroom camera, now faces more charges.

Suspended Cleveland Sergeant Timothy Richissin was charged with two more counts of voyeurism in Medina County Common Pleas Court.

Prosecutors say last year, Richissin hid a small camera inside the bathroom of the Hinckley warehouse where he ran a business.

Earlier this year, he was charged with tampering with evidence, voyeurism, obstructing official business and possessing criminal tools, after a female employee found the camera and called police.

"The sheriff's department went and did their investigation, located victim one, then they obtained computers pursuant to a search warrant, the computers were sent to Ohio BCI for analysis, and that analysis turned up the second victim," said Medina County prosecutor Dean Holman.

Richissin plead not guilty to the new charges. He also hired a new attorney to represent him.
