Maryland High School Worker Faces New Charges After Allegedly Filming Students in Changing Room
Investigators said eight more victims were found, bringing the total to 12, after new evidence expanded the case against James Mulhern III.
- On Thursday, authorities announced former Walter Johnson High School media services technician James Mulhern III now faces seven additional sex-abuse charges, bringing his total to 12 counts of abuse of a minor after investigators recovered more video evidence.
- Investigations began on April 7, 2026, after two students discovered a hidden camera in the Walter Johnson High School theater control booth; the footage captured female students undressing in a changing room, police say.
- Police recovered additional video evidence from Mulhern's home, identifying eight more victims. These videos date back to 2015, showing female students in various stages of undress, according to Montgomery County authorities.
- Mulhern appeared for a bond hearing on Wednesday in Montgomery County District Court, where a judge allowed his release on a $100,000 unsecured personal bond with conditions prohibiting contact with minors and requiring supervised contact with his son.
- Each abuse of a minor charge carries a maximum 25-year sentence; if convicted on all 12 counts, Mulhern could face up to 300 years in prison, according to Montgomery County court records.
