One of the videos discovered on the SD card was of a girl changing in the bathroom, according to The Herald.
Garcia was charged with unauthorized video recording of a person under 18 and unauthorized video recording without consent, according to ABC 7 Chicago.
He could face additional charges as police continue to investigate.
A judge denied prosecutors’ request to detain Garcia before trial because they argued he was a flight risk since he was homeless.
