PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) — A federal trial for a Johnson County man accused of secretly recording a 15-year-old girl has been postponed to allow additional time for the defense to review sensitive evidence.

Henry Jonathan Ritscher, 43, of Paintsville, faces federal charges of producing and possessing child pornography. Investigators say he installed hidden cameras inside his home and recorded the teen while she changed clothes and bathed. According to court documents, Ritscher admitted to recording the videos for approximately a year and a half and told police he used the images for his own gratification.

Ritscher’s trial was originally set for Jan. 12 in Ashland. Last week, his attorney requested a delay, explaining that the nature of the evidence required review on a law-enforcement computer and that access did not occur until Monday.

The judge agreed to cancel the trial date and instead scheduled a status hearing for the same day. Ritscher has until Jan. 9 to reach a plea agreement. If no agreement is filed, the case will move to trial or proceed with a blind plea.
