A Fayetteville man has been arrested, accused of secretly taping nude video of a young girl with whom he lived.
42-year-old Thomas Jason Pipes was arrested Monday after his wife found the video of the underage girl on a computer she shared with him.
According to police, the video shows a man believed to be Pipes setting up a camera near the bathtub of the home's master bathroom.
Later, the video shows the victim enter the restoom, undress and enter the shower at which point the man enters the bathroom again and takes the camera.
Pipe's wife insisted to police that her husband Thomas was in fact the man in the video.

According to Police, when confronted with the sexual abuse allegations, Pipes refused to answer questions and requested an attorney.
