NORTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA — A former Northampton Township supervisor and his girlfriend got a woman drunk, then used spy glasses and a webcam to take pictures of her while she was naked and passed out, prosecutors say.

UPDATE: Northampton Board Reacts To Colleague's Sex Crime Charges

Lawrence Jay Weinstein, 44, of Cypress Circle, and Kelly A Drucker, of Beacon Hill Drive, surrendered to Bucks County detectives Tuesday afternoon. They are charged with multiple felonies, including violations of the Pennsylvania Wiretap Act. They also are charged with false imprisonment, invasion of privacy, recklessly endangering another person and criminal conspiracy.

The Bucks County District Attorney's office said Weinstein is also accused of indecent assault in a separate incident in which they say he sexually assaulted an unconscious woman in 2012.

According to prosecutors, Weinstein and Drucker began what they called their "mission" in October 2017. Text messages show the couple plotting to spike their victim's drink with high-proof alcohol as a ploy to get her back to Drucker's house, where a webcam had been placed in the bathroom.

"Don’t let her go to the bathroom until she gets back to your place," Weinstein appears to instruct Drucker in one message, according to the DA's office.

On Nov. 10, 2017, prosecutors say Drucker and the victim had dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Weinstein, who was not there, stayed in contact with Drucker via text messages throughout the evening, coaching her on how to convince the woman to come home with her, prosecutors say.

"Keep sober so you can make it happen and aren’t too drunk to win," one of Weinstein’s texts said, according to the DA's office.

Weinstein allegedly instructed Drucker once she got the woman home to ask her sexual questions and keep making her drink alcohol. The victim told investigators she recalled going to dinner and that her wine "didn't taste right." She said she did not remember anything after commenting on the wine.

Eventually, the woman got sick and passed out in a bathroom. Prosecutors say Weinstein then instructed Drucker to put on the spy glasses and take photos.

"Get her naked and get [sic] door open," one text said, according to the DA's office.

Investigators say Weinstein later told police he was concerned for the victim and was not sure if he should call an ambulance.

A few days later, prosecutors say, the couple had a text conversation in which they discussed future plans for their "mission." Police believe that refers to plans to find another victim.

During their investigation, detectives say they found photos of the victim taken while she was in the bathroom at Drucker's home. The investigation began in August after they say a man found illicit messages on a phone that once belonged to Drucker.

While investigating the November incident, county detectives say they found photos on an iPad showing Weinstein sexually assaulting a woman in late 2012 while she was unconscious. That woman told investigators she was not aware anything had happened and that she did not consent to Weinstein touching her or taking photographs, prosecutors said.

District Judge Daniel J. Finello Jr. set and unsecured bail Tuesday for both Weinstein and Drucker of $300,000. They both have preliminary hearings set for Oct. 18.

Weinstein, a Republican, stepped down from Northampton's five-member board of supervisors last month, citing personal reasons.

He was elected to a six-year term in 2013. Prior to serving on the board, he'd been elected to the township's board of auditors in 2001, 2003 and 2009. He also has served as the campaign manager for state Rep. Scott Petri since 2002.

On the board of supervisors, he acted as liaison to the police and fire departments and to the Veteran's Advisory Commission.
