A Kings County man was arrested Friday on charges of secretly recording sexual encounters and sharing the videos, as well as harassing a victim in connection with the recordings.

He was identified as Slater Lee Bach, 26, a sheriff’s office employee for four years. He has been placed on administrative leave.

A sheriff’s spokesman said Bach was taken into custody when he arrived for work Friday morning. The sheriff’s office was contacted by a victim, and served warrants in connection with the case. Bach reportedly sent the videos and explicit photographs of himself to a second victim and later harassed the victim by phone and text messages.
