The Geneva Police Department is asking women to come forward if they recall interacting with a St. Charles man who allegedly took unauthorized upskirt or dress videos during the past eight years.  

Jascent M. Harvey, 29, of the 1300 block of West Main St., (police photo) has been charged with one count of burglary (Class 2 felony) and one count of unauthorized video recording of intimate parts (Class 4 felony).

Geneva Police detectives arrested Harvey Oct. 3 after an investigation found he allegedly used his phone to secretly record video up a woman’s skirt at a Geneva store.

Harvey’s phone was forensically searched pursuant to a judicial warrant, and the review took several weeks. Investigators uncovered more than 400 unauthorized upskirt videos taken from 2017 to 2025 at various locations, including:

• Retail stores, banks, and office buildings in Algonquin, DeKalb, Geneva, Elgin, Naperville, South Elgin, St. Charles, and Wheaton;
• Public libraries in Batavia, DeKalb, Elburn, Geneva, St. Charles, North Aurora, West Chicago, Sycamore, and Wheaton; and
• Government buildings in DeKalb, Elgin and Aurora.

Geneva Police are asking women who may have interacted with Harvey and believe they could be victims to email PDInvestigations@geneva.il.us.

Following his arrest, Harvey was transferred to Kane County Jail and had his first court appearance Oct. 4. He was subsequently released, and his next court date is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 17.

The charges against Harvey are not proof of guilt. Harvey is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the State’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
