"Jane Doe" - 5 yo (2006-2009) - St. Cloud FL

Brent Galbraith, a 36-year-old electrician, now faces charges of
repeatedly molesting the girl between the ages of 5 and 7, records show.

The arrest follows a two-month investigation in which the child first
told investigators she thought Galbraith was "a little weird but would
not elaborate." That changed last week after Galbraith was hospitalized
at a mental-health facility in Kissimmee, where he claimed he wanted to
harm himself over accusations of burglarizing the child's home and
voyeurism, records show.

Within days, the child told a state Department of Children and Families
case worker that Galbraith had touched her inappropriately in the past,
records show.

During a subsequent interview with the youngster by a Child Advocacy
Center specialist, she described how Galbraith had forced her to
undress while he did the same and then molested her. The girl said that
happened four times, records show.

The case began Aug. 10 with the discovery of the cameras with audio,
video and power cables running outside the child's home to a locked
electrical utility box, which did not contain a recording device,
records state.

The child's older brother spotted the first camera in an air vent above
her bedroom. A search of the attic found the second camera mounted
behind a hole in her bathroom's shower door frame so it could record
anyone taking a shower, records state.

On Sept. 8, Galbraith admitted to a sheriff's detective that he had
installed the cameras three years earlier while the child's family was
away on vacation. Asked why, Galbraith said "he had an infatuation with
the child" and that he was ashamed of his behavior, records show.

Galbraith said the cameras must have been improperly installed because
he did not have any recordings of the child. After two laptop computers
and two computers were seized under a search warrant of Galbraith's
home, the Sheriff's Ooffice found that all of the files "appear to have
been wiped clean," reports show.

The case at that time was sent to the Orange-Osceola State Attorney's
Office to determine if there was enough evidence to sustain charges of
burglary and voyeurism. It was still being reviewed when Galbraith was
charged this week with four counts of lewd and lascivious molestation
of a child under 12 by an offender older than 18 years old and one
count of child abuse, records state.


Galbraith remained without bail in the Osceola County Jail on Friday.
