RI minister accused of voyeurism

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - As many as 50 women may have been the victim of an accused video voyeur, Providence police said.

Investigators arrested Miller Flambert, 49, on charges he used a pen-shaped video camera to record under the skirts of women without their knowledge or consent and then downloaded the images on his home computer.

Flambert, a self-described part-time Evangelical minister, was arraigned Tuesday on a felony count of video voyeurism.

According to Police Maj. Thomas Oates III, investigators were alerted about Flambert's alleged actions after an incident at a Walmart pharmacy on Silver Spring St. After further investigation, troopers seized memory cards and a computer from Flambert's North Providence apartment.

Oates tells The Providence Journal that police believe the man has recorded about 50 women at Rhode Island stores in the last six months.
