WILLARD - A Willard rental unit company found various Mercy Willard Hospital records being stored by a former ultrasound technician accused of voyeurism and child pornography at a Tiffin facility.

However, Mercy CEO and President Lynn Detterman said there was nothing considered suspicious, pornographic or of a criminal nature in the storage unit once rented by Willard resident Jamie Aguirre.

In March, Aguirre withdrew his "no contest" pleas to 11 felony charges of possessing nudity-oriented material involving minors and four misdemeanor counts of possession of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia. The case, stemming from an Oct. 25 traffic stop, is pending in Portage County Common Pleas Court.

In the vehicle, Brimfield Township police said they found video equipment and digital memory cards containing about 200 photographs and roughly 30 videos taken during procedures at Advanced Medical Imaging, where Aguirre worked for nearly two years. That led to a search of his Holiday Lakes, Willard, residence.

The rental unit company notified Mercy officials that Aguirre hadn't been paying his rent, Detterman said. She said the company discovered the Mercy records 12 images, radiology registration forms, schedules, written reports "and a few internal memos that he kept and that's it" when they opened the unit to rent it to another customer. Some of the documents contained patients' personal information, including Social Security numbers.

There was one image each of a foot and sinus cavity and 10 ultrasounds. Detterman said none of the ultrasounds were of female genitalia.

Detterman said she had the company notify Willard Police Chief Joe Daniel because if the material "was evidence, I wanted the police to handle it." Daniel couldn't be reached for comment because he's on vacation.

Nobody has indicated Aguirre is accused of nudity- or pornographic-related offenses when he worked in Willard, Detterman said. Daniel has told the Reflector the same thing multiple times.

The hospital, in a prepared statement, said it doesn't believe any of the newly discovered materials "has been used for any particular purpose" and provided a toll-free number (1-877-570-1116) in case any patients want to know if their information was included. Detterman stressed that Mercy has attempted to be "very transparent" and has been contacting authorities regularly to verify that none of Mercy's patients have been linked to the allegations surrounding Aguirre.

The defendant remains in custody at the Seneca County Jail in lieu of a $750,000 bond.
