"We have been inundated. Norristown police have been absolutely inundated with more people coming forward, more victims," Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said.
Daley stands charged with secretly recording every intimidate detail of the young women who lived in at least seven apartments he owned around Norristown. He has admitted he installed hidden cameras and recording devices in bedrooms, bathrooms and the showers at the women's apartments.

Daley told police he installed the cameras himself... Daley was being held Tuesday night on $2 million bail. (more) (video)
