A six-year veteran of the Legal Aid Society was arraigned Friday on charges of spying on his female co-workers to capture them undressing. According to a 10-count information, Peter Barta, 32, spied on his co-workers on five occasions over 29 months and in one instance captured a female attorney partially undressed.
After pleading not guilty before Acting Justice Laura E. Drager, Barta was released on his own recognizance with the consent of the prosecution. Barta’s lawyer, Henry Putzel III, said Barta had entered a not guilty plea “at this point” and called the situation “tragic.”
