MADISON, Ind. — A Vevay police officer was arrested while on duty Tuesday after he was accused of attempting to record video of an underage girl without her knowledge.

Madison police said 37-year-old Kyle J. Davis is charged with attempted child exploitation and attempted voyeurism after a months-long investigation.

According to court documents, a girl told officials a male family friend tried to record video of her while she was using the bathroom. She said she attempted to use the bathroom while at a birthday party at Davis’s home, but was cut off by Davis, who said he needed to use the bathroom first.

When she went inside the bathroom, the girl said she found a phone concealed by clothing pointed at the toilet. She told officials she picked it up and saw it was recording.
