A New York State court officer with the Oneida County Supreme Court has been charged with felony unlawful surveillance.

State Police say James Madera took intimate photos of a woman without her knowledge or consent. Authorities say there are no allegations the conduct occurred while the 38-year-old Waterville resident was on duty.

Madera was charged and released. A full stay-away order of protection was reportedly issued on behalf of the victim.
