A Millersburg man is accused of hiding a camera near a teddy bear in an 11-year-old girl's bedroom to secretly record her getting dressed, according to charges filed by state police at Lykens.

Mark Douglas Fulton, 27, was charged May 20 with sexual abuse of children and invasion of privacy in connection with a May 11 incident, police said.

State police said they interviewed Fulton May 18 after someone reported seeing the video on his phone. Trooper Raschard Buie said Fulton told him the camera was hidden around a teddy bear in a corner of the girl's room. Fulton said he may have been drunk, and said the girl didn't know he made the recording.

Fulton said he regretted his action, and told Buie "I'm not a pedophile. I need like a counselor, like help in general," said court documents.

He is in Dauphin County prison in lieu of $50,000 bail, and his preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 29.
