Overview
- Two women discovered small cameras concealed inside smoke detectors in their bedrooms, which prompted a police investigation.
- Oakland County prosecutors charged 65-year-old trustee Jibran Manna with two counts of capturing an image of an unclothed person and five counts of installing an eavesdropping device.
- Investigators searched Manna’s home, township office and cellphone and say they recovered additional cameras and videos from the victims’ bedrooms and bathrooms on his phone.
- The charges carry statutory maximum penalties of up to five years in prison for each capturing-an-image count and up to two years for each eavesdropping-device count.
- Prosecutor Karen McDonald called the conduct an "appalling invasion of privacy," and the case moves now into criminal prosecution with questions about abuse of public trust.
