According to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for Eastern California, officers with the Placerville Police Department investigating the death of Piper’s son,
Roman Lopez, seized a digital camera, cell phones, and other devices from the family’s home. Investigators said they found evidence on a phone that Piper “made surreptitious recordings” of a victim under the age of 18.
FBI agents obtained a search warrant for the camera, a GoPro SPTM1, and found a video of Piper removing the device from behind a wall outlet in the bathroom of a rental home in Groveland, California where he and the child were living. A further search uncovered “many videos” of the minor victim “using the bathroom and bathing, where her genitals were visible.”
Investigators then performed a digital search of Piper’s Samsung cell phone. The phone allegedly contained screen captures from the surreptitiously recorded videos of the victim “in various states of undress, and usually nude.”
“Approximately 433 nude images of Minor Victim 1 were found on Jordan Piper’s cell phone in the cache and screenshots section of the phone, as well as cache folders and screenshot folders in a secure folder on the phone,” the complaint states. “Many of those images created by Jordan Piper were focused shots of Minor Victim 1’s genitals or pubic area. In addition, the video camera was placed in a manner to maximize the chances of recording the genitals of Minor Victim 1 and other users of the bathroom.”
A California man already charged with torturing and murdering his 11-year-old son and stuffing his body in a storage bin is now being accused of secretly filming a minor female.
