More Women Testify Against Camm

Suspect Accused Of Making Unwanted Advances

Nine women who claimed to have had sex with David Camm, or allegedly rejected his unwanted sexual advances, were called to the stand Wednesday in his murder trial.

Camm, a former Indiana State Police trooper, is charged with killing his wife, Kimberly, and his two children, Jill and Bradley, in their Georgetown, Ind., home in September 2000.

NewsChannel 32's Abby Miller reported that one of the woman admitted having sex with Camm while he was married, but the others claimed that he made unwanted sexual advances toward them.

Miller reported that one of the women was an Indiana State Police dispatcher who worked with Camm at the Sellersburg post.

She testified that Camm made unwanted sexual advances toward her on two occasions.

She said that Camm showed up at her house uninvited on one occasion.

"He came in and sat in the house and put his hands on me. He said 'I know what you want,'" she said.

The dispatcher (pictured, below right) said that Camm pushed her down on the couch, she pushed back, and he eventually left.

The woman also testified that Camm once approached her from behind at the police post, slid his hands over her breasts, and kissed her.

Lead prosecutor Stan Faith called the testimony "just the tip of the iceberg."

"It shows how he feels about his family," Faith said. "It shows the value he puts on his marriage. If you notice today he's talking to at least three woman about how he's not getting along with Kim. Another time he said he can't afford to leave her because she makes the most money."

Miller reported that Camm showed very little emotion during the testimony, but many of the woman cried openly on the stand.

"This is a horrible embarassment for his family, and he feels terrible about it," defense attorney Mike McDaniel said. "He done it. There ain't no place to hide. He's just got to sit there and take it, and that's what he's doing."

Miller reported that lawyers on both sides are arguing over whether Camm's former job as a state trooper had anything to do with his behaviour.

Camm Witness - Former Police Dispatcher "It's one of those boys will be boys things, huh?" Faith asked. "Well I don't know about the rest of them, but I don't believe we have anyone else accused of murdering their family. Slaughtering them in a dark garage in the middle of the night."

"You hear testimony about what was going on at the state police post, I haven't lied to anybody," McDaniel said. "That was what was going on, and I think you have to contextualize what David was doing. Shawnees take a lot of scalps and hang them off of their belts -- some state troopers are kind of like Shawnees."

Faith called the defense's claims "something out of the dark ages."

Miller reported that Thursday's testimony will move toward the evidence collected at the scene as the prosecution tries to establish the chain of custody.
