A Pennsylvania man will spend 2½ years in prison after admitting to a disturbing attack inside a Charlestown grocery store restroom, where investigators say he grabbed a 7-year-old girl and tried to record under a stall before bolting from the scene. Senior Judge Roger Davis handed down the sentence on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, following the man’s guilty plea to multiple felony charges tied to the October incident.
Sentence and plea
Senior Judge Roger Davis ordered Bradley Moyer to serve 2½ years after Moyer pleaded guilty in June to felony counts of battery, voyeurism and auto theft, according to WDRB. WDRB reported the agreement wrapped up the local charges stemming from the Charlestown grocery store case.
What happened inside the Jay C
Court documents reviewed by local reporters say the October 2025 incident at the Jay C Food Store in Charlestown began when Moyer reached into an occupied women’s restroom stall, pulled off the child’s shoe and tried to record beneath the partition with his phone, as reported by WAVE. The child’s mother immediately confronted him, according to the reporting, and bystanders stepped in. Police say Moyer then raced to a vehicle and drove off, and a bystander who attempted to stop him was struck during the confrontation.
How police tracked him down
Charlestown police say detailed witness descriptions, combined with a tip, helped officers track Moyer to Otisco. Investigators allege the vehicle he used had been stolen in Ohio and tied to a burglary case, per WDRB. Moyer was arrested and booked into the Clark County Jail on felony battery with a victim under 14, felony voyeurism and felony auto theft, and he was held on a $100,000 cash bond. Officials say the investigation also raised questions about alleged recordings in another state.
Indiana law explicitly criminalizes voyeurism and the use of cameras or similar devices to capture images of people in places where they reasonably expect privacy. Those provisions are laid out in IC 35-45-4-5 of the Indiana Code. According to the Indiana General Assembly (IN.gov), voyeurism is codified at IC 35-45-4-5 of the Indiana Code. Battery against a child and auto theft carry separate felony penalties, and reporting said Moyer’s June plea grouped those counts into a single resolution that resulted in the 2½-year sentence.
