Police: Barclay secretly videotaped “100 to 500” sexual encounters with hidden camera network

Former commissioner's attorney: Footage shows rape charge unfounded

State police say former Cumberland County commissioner Bruce Barclay videotaped hundreds of sexual encounters — many with male escorts — using cameras hidden throughout his Monroe Township home.

Police say the sexual encounters were videotaped without the knowledge of the participants, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed Tuesday with Magisterial District Judge Susan Day. Court documents say cameras were installed in January of 2007.

Investigators are searching items seized from Barclay's residence a second time in relation to a rape investigation.

Reading a prepared statement, Barclay's attorney, Matthew Gover, said although he and Barclay do not agree with everything in the affidavit, “It is clear in my client’s private life he has made an error of judgment. What is striking is this very same lack of judgment exonerates him from a rape allegation that wasn’t going anywhere.”

County commissioner Bruce Barclay resigns
by MATT MILLER, Of Our Cumberland County Bureau
Wednesday April 02, 2008, 11:57 AM

Cumberland County Commissioner Bruce Barclay resigned this afternoon, hours after it became public that he is the focus of a state police investigation of an allegation of rape

County President Judge Edgar Bayley said he received the resignation of Barclay, 48, a Monroe Twp. Republican, around 3 p.m. The county's five judges will choose a replacement, who must be a Republican, Bayley said.

No charges have been filed against Barclay. His attorney, Matthew Gover, called the rape allegation "ludicrous." He said Bruce Barclay chose to step down, however, because he felt even the accusation would limit his ability to be effective as a commissioner.

Barclay declined comment when asked about the allegation this morning. Gover said Barclay won't make a public statement on his resignation.
