COLUMBUS (WCMH) — A Columbus Target employee faces charges for taking video of a 12-year-old boy in a bathroom of the store on Olentangy River Road, according to a criminal complaint.

Matthew Lively, 31, of Columbus was given a $150,000 bond in court Wednesday morning on a charge of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance, a second-degree felony.

On Nov. 30, Lively allegedly placed a cell phone in a stall where the juvenile was using the bathroom. A detective with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said Lively admitted to taking video of the boy during the interview.

“I think it’s key the little boy knew to tell someone, to get help and tell an adult,” said Columbus Police Officer Kelly Shay.

Columbus Police were not the responding agency for this case, but Ofc. Shay said parents can learn from what happened.

“It’s still important to talk to your children about inappropriate behavior and private body parts and when you’re in your bathroom or any restroom that is supposed to be a private space, it’s not for anyone to observe or certainly not take photos or film,” she said. “When someone is in danger or doing something that hurts another person, it’s important to tell because you’re not snitching you’re helping. You’re helping keep that from happening to the next person.”
