Attorney accused of stalking Oakwood teen, voyeurism facing nearly 100 charges

The investigation began in October 2024 after one of Currie’s family members found what appeared to be voyeuristic photos and videos on his cellphone, Heck said.

The family member reported the images to the Oakwood Public Safety Department, which obtained a search warrant for Currie’s cellphone and other electronic devices.

“The search revealed that the defendant stalked a 17-year-old Oakwood High School student. The defendant went to her residence on numerous occasions and surreptitiously photographed and videotaped her in her bedroom through her windows, including in various states of nudity, obviously, all without her knowledge,” Heck said.

Also, the investigation determined that Currie on at least one occasion tried to film up girls’ skirts in a video taken at Oakwood High School as he walked through the auditorium, he said.

When the teen left to attend college, Currie reportedly continued to return to photograph and videotape women in various states of undress, including a family member of the teen and a neighbor, Heck said.

“A 91-count indictment does not happen by accident,” said Oakwood Chief Alan Hill, who commended detective Kasey Ballinger for her investigation. “There’s a tremendous amount of work that goes into preparing a case like this. … From this point forward, this is about holding his person accountable for his actions."

Heck said investigators identified four victims but encouraged those who believe they could be a victim to call Oakwood police at 937-298-2122.

Currie worked as a legal aid attorney with Advocates for Basic Legal Equality until this past summer, Heck said. He told the Dayton Daily News for an August story that he retired following a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis. His attorney registration was suspended effective Nov. 3, according to the Supreme Court of Ohio Attorney Directory.

He also was known for his support of Dayton neighborhood revitalization and was a founding member of the nonprofit Co-op Dayton, which helped create the Gem City Market.

Over the recent holidays Currie moved to Michigan, Heck said. A warrant was issued for his arrest and the U.S. Marshals Service was notified and is expected to apprehend him there, Heck said.

Currie is scheduled to be arraigned Jan. 20.
