Special needs careworker Nickolas Lee put hidden camera disguised as a phone charger in teenage girl's room to take some of the 294 child porn images police found on his cell

A Michigan special needs careworker was caught with 294 pornographic images of little girls after he planted a secret camera in the bedroom of one of his clients.

Nickolas Lee, 30, was charged with 30 counts of child pornography after a recent investigation by Genesee Sheriff's Department's Human Oppression Strike Team, or G.H.O.S.T. 

He was busted after family members of a teenage girl discovered a hidden camera in her bedroom that was disguised as a cell phone charger.

They immediately disabled the camera and went to police, according to Genesee County Sheriff Christopher Swanson.  

Upon investigation, almost 300 explicit images of underage girls were found on Lee's cell phone, police said.

Swanson said  the images were of young children less than 10 years old.

He described the pornographic pictures: 'It's everything you would possibly think of that is allowable in a consensual sexual relationship - but yet the images of these individuals are pre-pubescent.

'These are young girls that are in single digits - with grown men. This involves exploitation and penetration and rape of these young victims.'

Lee reportedly had access to the victim's bedroom because he was a caregiver for a 'special needs family member,' the sheriff said.    

'This right here is the creepy white van in the 21st century,' Swanson said about Lee. 

Lee is now facing 30 charges and is being held on a $600,000 cash bond.

There were eight other accused pedophiles busted for child sexual abusive activity in the G.H.O.S.T investigation, Swanson shared at a press conference on Friday.

Two suspects, a 29-year-old and a 23-year-old, have not yet faced formal charges for the alleged crimes, he said. 

Five of the suspects have been charged with accosting a child for immoral purposes, using a computer to commit a crime, and child sexually abusive activity, Swanson said. 

The six identified on Friday were Stosh Gizinski, 39, Nickolas Lee, 30, Clifford Mitts, 69, Devin Raymond, 44, Jesus Valverde-Texta, 29, and Jared Weaver, 31.
