An Orleans County man has been charged in what authorities classify as a voyeurism crime after a woman found a recording device in her South Carolina home. The Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office incident report says an officer responded Jan. 24 (ET) after the woman discovered a small black rectangular device in her bedroom and later connected it to her phone. The man, identified as Nicolas Vagg of Albion, turned himself in and was charged with sex/peeping tom, eavesdropping or peeping.
Voyeurism Crime: Charges and official records
The Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office incident report lays out the core allegations: the victim told the responding officer she had been in a relationship with Nicolas Vagg from May–October 2024 and that he traveled from New York to visit her in 2024. The woman said she found a small black rectangular device in her bedroom and later determined it was a recording device by connecting it to her phone; she found audio recordings captured during her time with Vagg and recordings from interactions with another man after the relationship ended, the report states.
Georgetown County Detention Center records show Vagg, 32, of Albion, was initially held on $2, 000 bond and released later the same day he surrendered. The incident report lists the responding call date as Jan. 24 (ET) and sets Vagg’s next court date for May 28 (ET). The charge categories listed in the report include sex/peeping tom and eavesdropping or peeping.
Victim account, protections and next steps
The report records the victim’s account that she discovered the device in her bedroom, then connected it to her phone and reviewed audio captured there. The victim received a no-contact order of protection as part of the case file, the incident report indicates. Law enforcement action began when an officer responded to the home on Jan. 24 (ET) to investigate a possible peeping tom or voyeurism incident named in the report.
Procedural records at the Georgetown County Detention Center confirm Vagg turned himself in the day the detention entry was made and was released after posting bond. Vagg’s next scheduled court appearance is May 28 (ET), where the charging documents will be addressed in court. The incident report and detention records are the sources of the timeline and the specific allegations now moving through the local judicial process.
What happens next in the case
The immediate legal steps are clear in the documentation: the defendant remains subject to the no-contact order of protection placed for the victim, and the matter is set for the May 28 (ET) court date noted in detention records. Investigators and prosecutors will proceed through arraignment and the pretrial calendar as dictated by Georgetown County procedures; the incident report and detention records will form the factual basis in court filings. The allegation at the center of the file is identified as a voyeurism crime and will be addressed in the upcoming proceedings on May 28 (ET).
