A CNBC director accused of spying on his teenage nanny by installing a camera in a bathroom at his Pleasantville home said nothing during and after a quick appearance in Village Court on Tuesday night.
Daniel Switzen's case has been continued to March 13.
Switzen, 44, who allegedly placed the camera inside a tissue box, left the courthouse Tuesday without responding to reporters and got into a sport-utility vehicle where a woman, who moments earlier had left the court, was waiting to drive them away.
The nanny was entertaining friends at the house on Anne Place on the evening of Nov. 13 when the camera was discovered. They took it to Pleasantville police and Switzen, a married father of two, was arrested early the next morning.
Switzen placed "a video recording device in the bathroom of his residence for his own amusement and or entertainment to surreptitiously view and or record a person dressing or undressing the sexual or other intimate parts of such person at a place and time when such person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, without such person's knowledge or consent," according to the complaint filed by Pleasantville police.
