US EditionFormer Bucks Co. Family Counselor to Face Trial for Secretly Recording 21 Victims in Counseling Sessions, Bathrooms, DA Says
- Jonathan Elliot Moyer, a 55-year-old family counselor from Bucks County, decided not to contest his preliminary hearing held on June 4, 2025, and will proceed to trial for secretly recording 21 individuals at his counseling office in Quakertown.
- The investigation started in March 2025 after a micro SD card was discovered containing footage of Moyer installing hidden cameras inside the bathroom and therapy rooms at his office.
- Authorities identified 21 victims including four minors and staff members, many of whom sought counseling for past sexual trauma, with videos capturing sensitive therapy sessions and video evidence of Moyer manipulating exercises to facilitate abuse.
- Jonathan Moyer has been formally charged with a total of 26 offenses, including multiple counts related to unauthorized recording of conversations, violations of privacy, and the illegal possession of recording equipment. Following these charges brought by Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn, Moyer secured his release by posting bail set at $150,000.
- The preliminary hearing waiver moves the case toward a formal arraignment on June 30, with prosecutors emphasizing accountability for violating vulnerable clients and remaining open to additional victims coming forward.
