Released on $30,000 bond, he's scheduled for trial on Oct. 7, the Greenville Reflector said.

As a condition of his release, Harris cannot go on the premises of Rose Hill Free Will Baptist Church or have any contact with the people he videotaped, a court record stated.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg," Lee Moore, the chief investigator said. "We still have a lot more evidence to go through."
