Upskirt Videos Lead To 51 Felony Counts For St. Charles Man: Geneva Police

GENEVA, IL — A St. Charles man was charged with 51 counts of felony offenses after investigators found he secretly recorded videos up women's skirts for more than two years, officials said Tuesday.

Kane County State's Attorney Jamie L. Mosser and Geneva Chief of Police Eric Passarelli allege Jascent M. Harvey, 30, used his cell phone to record videos of 33 women and two minor girls between June 2023 and September 2025.

Geneva detectives first arrested Harvey on Oct. 3, 2025, after officials say an investigation found he took an upskirt video at a Geneva store. Using a warrant, police forensically searched the man's phones and laptops, finding more similar videos.

On March 28, Harvey, of the 1300 block of West Main Street, was arrested on 51 new charges:

• Production of child sexual abuse material (2 counts)
• Reproduction of child sexual abuse material (6 counts)
• Possession of child sexual abuse material (8 counts)
• Unauthorized video recording of victims under 18 (2 counts)
• Unauthorized video recording (33 counts)

He appeared in court two days later and was denied pre-trial release as the court found he posed a "real and present threat to the safety of the community."
