Bail Revoked for Man Accused of Videotaping Exchange Students

Michael Scott Scheeler, accused of in his Lower Milford Township home with hidden cameras in their bedroom and bathroom, has had his bail revoked.

Scheeler, who was out on bail, was in Lehigh County Court today for a sentencing hearing and withdrew his guilty plea. Representing the district attorney's office, Anna-Kristie Morffi argued that Scheeler should have his bail revoked due to the nature of his alleged crime as well as photographic evidence he posessed several firearms.

Though Scheeler and his attorney argued that all the firearms have been sold and Scheeler has given up his firearms license, Judge Lawrence Brenner disagreed.

"I feel that he is a serious threat to the community," Brenner said.

Scheeler was immediately remanded to Lehigh County Prison to await evaluation on whether he should be considered a sexually violent predator.
