EMT Guilty Of Filming People In Lambertville Restrooms: Prosecutor's Office

LAMBERTVILLE, PA — A man from Hampton, NJ pleaded guilty Friday after being accused of filming people without their consent in bathrooms at the Lambertville-New Hope Rescue Squad and the Flemington-Raritan Rescue Squad, according to the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office.

Douglas Gimson, 32, was charged in both the city of Lambertville and the borough of Flemington in December of 2020. A joint investigation by the Hunterdon County Prosecutor’s Office’s Special Victims Unit, the Flemington Borough Police Department, and the Lambertville City Police Department found that Gimson "observed and secretly recorded multiple individuals while they were in various bathrooms without the identified victims’ knowledge or consent."

These incidents occurred in Lambertville between November of 2016 and May of 2017, and in Flemington between November of 2019 and March of 2020, the prosecutor's office said. Gimson was working as a licensed EMT at the time.

On Friday, Gimson pleaded guilty to three counts of third-degree invasion of privacy. Under the terms of a plea agreement, he will forfeit his EMT license in New Jersey and it will be recommended that he be sentenced to 180 days in jail, be subject to probation, and complete a psychosexual evaluation and treatment.

Gimson will be sentenced on Dec. 1.
