However, authorities have been investigating him for months.

The hidden camera in the girls' bathroom at the gym was first found in April, prosecutors said.

The first victim identified by investigators was an adult woman, according to prosecutors.

He was charged in April with just one count of invasion of privacy and released.

After four months of investigation, authorities found that Curtin had recorded several women in the bathroom.

Some of the victims were young girls who were changing clothes, prosecutors said.
