State Department Official Now Facing Voyeurism Charge

A State Department official who's already been charged with soliciting a minor in Virginia is now facing charges of voyeurism and stalking in the District of Columbia.

Daniel Rosen, 44, pleaded not guilty to the new charges and was released to home confinement. He will wear a GPS device.

Rosen was arrested again Sunday afternoon, D.C. police said Monday. He was charged after a search of his cellphone revealed multiple videos of women that were recorded without their consent.

Police say the videos were made in the neighborhoods of Adams Morgan, Mount Pleasant and U Street. The women in the videos appear to be older than 18, police said.

Police used geolocation data to find one victim, who was allegedly recorded in her Mount Pleasant bedroom in July 2013. The victim identified herself in four separate clips taken over several minutes, according to a criminal complaint document. She was shown in the videos undressing and changing clothes; at times she was naked, the document says. The document said the victim's bedroom window can only be accessed through an alley behind the apartment and down several stairs.

Another victim was shown on video on three separate days in December 2014 while showering and grooming in her bathroom, according to the document.

Rosen works as a counterterrorism official at the State Department. Last month, he was charged with soliciting a minor online after a series of online exchanges with a Fairfax County police detective who was posing as a 14-year-old girl.
