Gwinnett County grand jury indicts former Lilburn officer Gary Livingston
Gary Livingston

- Authorities say a former Lilbu police officer accused of inappropriately touching and videotaping a woman while on duty has been indicted by a Gwinnett County jury. 

According to the police report, officer Gary Livingston, 34, and another officer responded to an alarm call at an apartment complex last May. It was a false alarm and both officers left the location. Minutes later, the report says Livingston retued and asked the 31-year-old property manager to participate in what he called a college psychology course project. He asked the woman to pretend she was asleep and touched her while recording it with his personal cell phone.

The woman told investigators she would have not consented, but the officer was in uniform and she was in fear. 

Livingston was indicted on two counts of unlawful surveillance, one count of simple battery and one count of violation of oath of office. 

Livingston worked as an officer with Lilbu Police from 2013 until his termination last June.
