Easttown Man Charged With Taking Videos of Women Without Consent

Freeman Cottrell is accused of recording himself and his ex-fiancé having sexual intercourse, and taking up-skirt videos of another woman.

An Easttown Township man has been accused of taking videos of women without their consent.

Freeman Rodgers Cottrell, 46, of Slyvan Lane, was charged on June 26 with multiple counts of invasion of privacy and intercepting communications, after his ex-fiancé discovered a series of videos on his computer depicted the two of them having sex. The ex-fiancé, who was shared a residence with Cottrell at the time she had found the videos, said she had never agreed to be filmed, and did not know they were being recorded.

According to criminal complaint from the Easttown Police Department, the ex-fiancé found the videos while looking on Cottrell’s computer for evidence that he had been cheating on her with another women.
