Trevor Timothy Harwell was arrested Wednesday after being charged with 12 counts of illegal computer access and fraud, Fullerton police Sgt. Andrew Goodrich said.
While working for Rezitech Inc., Harwell visited homes to service Macintosh computers and would install a spyware-type application that allowed him remote access to the user’s computer and webcam.
Harwell allegedly collected hundreds of thousands of images, usually of women undressed or changing clothes, then storing them on a remote server and downloading them to his own computer. Court records show the crimes date back to June 2009.
Many of the victims attend Biola University, a private Christian school in La Mirada. Harwell also is accused of installing a spyware program on the hard drives of computers connected to Biola University’s network.
