A former co-owner of a funeral home in Lawrence County is accused of photographing and videotaping partially nude women and girls without their knowledge, according to the county Prosecutor’s Office.

Richard L. Slack, 68, of Chesapeake, Ohio, is named in a 21-count indictment.

The indictment alleges that women and girls of various ages were “videotaped, filmed, photographed or otherwise recorded.” Lawrence County Prosecutor Brigham Anderson confirms the activity allegedly happened in 2019 at a funeral home in Lawrence County.

Anderson said Slack was charged Wednesday. His arraignment is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. next Wednesday,

Anderson says Wednesday’s indictments come following a lengthy investigation between Ohio BCI, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, the FBI, and the Lawrence County Prosecutor’s Office.

According to the prosecutor, 10 of the 21 charges are second-degree felonies, and Slack could end up facing eight to 12 years on prison for each count if found guilty.

“The allegations are very serious,” Anderson said. “We’re taking the case very seriously.”

He says at this point they won’t go into details about how the alleged activity was discovered.

Anderson says Slack was a co-owner of the funeral home at the time but no longer is. He says that funeral home is still open but under a different name.

I guess when you’re dead, you wouldn’t know about it.

My question exactly. What? Why are people disrobing at a funeral home? Were these women alive? What the actual heck was going on here?

Seems this pertinent detail is omitted from a story about a degenerate funeral home owner.

What exactly is a partially nude woman? In a bikini? Underwear? No top? No bottom?. I guess it is like mostly peaceful riots...

Here in my town we had a funeral director who was doing a lot worse to the corpses.

Supposedly the crime was done without the victims knowledge, so perhaps alive. Knowing how easy it is to makes mistakes in recounting an event...the reporter could have meant without the next of kins permission.

There is another write up from a pay wall news site indicating the filming was in rest room at the funeral home.

” Why are people disrobing at a funeral home? “

Why are you assuming they were disrobing?

What’s worse? Taping women or having sex with an underage sex doll? This world is screwed up.
