CCSO: Man admits to having, recording, child pornography
MIDDLEBURG – A man who was threatening suicide was arrested on Aug. 14 after admitting he videotaped a 13-year-old child as she exited the shower, the Clay County Sheriff’s Office said.
Harold Clare Potter, 48, of Middleburg was charged with voyeurism of a child, as well as 10 counts of possessing pictures or videos of children having sex.
According to the five-page arrest report, deputies were called to a home on Saunders Drive after Potter told family members he molested a girl on June 1 and was going to hurt himself. He told a family member he was “a victim of sexual abuse when he was a child” and he told her he was a “nasty dirty person.”
The video of the girl was taken when he put his cellphone camera under the door, according to the arrest report. He told the family the video had been erased, but he told a CCSO deputy his cellphone also contained child pornography. A subsequent search of his cellphone led to the discovery of other videos or photographs of young girls primarily in the bathtub.
Potter was placed in the Clay County Jail with a $150,033 bond.
