Woman Sues Landlord for Alleged Peeping

A Norristown woman has sued her landlord for allegedly using electronic surveillance devices to videotape her most intimate moments.

The woman, who resides at an apartment building in the 1400 block of Green Valley Road that is owned by accused peeper Thomas C. Daley, is seeking in excess of $100,000 in damages against Daley.

In the suit filed in Montgomery County Court on Thursday, the woman claimed she suffered psychological and emotional distress, embarrassment, humiliation, anxiety, depression and sleeplessness since Daley's alleged activities were uncovered by authorities earlier this week.

"This man gutted my client's sense of personal security and privacy through one of the most vile ways imaginable," alleged Norristown lawyer John I. McMahon Jr., who represents the woman.

McMahon alleged in the suit that between March 2007 and September 2008 Daley regularly captured and viewed video images of the woman, in various states of undress, on dozens of occasions. Daley, the suit alleged, installed numerous hidden cameras throughout the woman's apartment, including the bathroom, living room and bedroom.

"(Daley's) surreptitious installation of the electronic surveillance equipment was done with the sole objective and purpose of gratifying his sexual desires by viewing and examining plaintiff's naked body within the privacy of her own home, without her knowledge or consent," McMahon wrote in the lawsuit.
