Towson University diving coach charged with videotaping women's locker room

TOWSON, Md. -- Officials at Towson University say the Maryland school's head diving coach has been indicted on charges in connection with a cellphone found in a women's locker room.

Forty-three-year-old Maureen Mead was indicted by a grand jury on Monday.

According to the university, she faces charges of interception of communication, a "peeping tom" violation, and altering physical evidence.

School officials said in October that diving team members found the phone containing videos of the student-athletes changing inside the locker room. Mead was placed on administrative leave, pending the investigation.

Mead's husband, Patrick -- the swim team coach -- has also been placed on leave, reports CBS Baltimore.

The university said in a statement Monday that it was cooperating with the investigation and takes the safety of its student-athletes very seriously. The university also announced that it has suspended competition until January.
