A 35-year-old Anne Arundel County man accused of entering the homes of women and secretly videotaping them is expected to pleaded guilty.

Charles Novak, of Crofton, was arrested in December when a resident reported finding a man sitting in a car in her garage. Novak had a camera at the time with videos of nude people who did not appear to be aware they were being recorded.

Officers subsequently searched Novak’s house and found evidence, including a girl’s underwear, linking him to other burglaries, police said.

He faces dozens of charges of burglary and being a peeping Tom.
