YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) – Newly obtained court documents unveiled new details on the former York County police officer accused of misusing a law enforcement database dozens of times for “dating purposes.”

Search warrants for Facebook and Snapchat data detail that Sean Lake, 32, of Dover, allegedly used the personal information he gathered from a law enforcement database to message women.

Lake is accused of looking up over a dozen women through the Commonwealth Law Enforcement Assistance Network (CLEAN) database, while he was a police officer, according to State Police.

Lake was first given access to CLEAN in July 2020 when he worked with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, and that access was eventually barred in January 2025 while he was with York County Regional Police.

Lake was charged after being accused of making 32 queries that served no purpose for law enforcement use.

One of the alleged victims was a former York County Sheriff’s Deputy, who had two of her personal vehicle registrations run through the database by Lake, according to court documents. Lake allegedly queried the registration of her vehicle after he left York County Central Booking, then eventually sent her a message and friend requested her on Facebook.

Lake allegedly admitted he got her information by looking up her vehicle’s plate and admitted he could get into trouble, the warrant shows.

Court documents also show Lake allegedly made three different queries of a woman, who gave him part of her name after they met at a local bar.

Another woman accused Lake of recording them while having sex without her permission, and when she confronted him about it, he allegedly said that it was something “guys do,” the warrant details.

Court documents indicate investigators believe “it is probable” that Lake may have recorded additional women without their consent and shared them with other people.

Lake faces 32 felony charges of unlawful use of a computer.

Lake is out on unsecured bail set at $50,000 by Magisterial District Judge Scott Laird. He is scheduled to be formally arraigned on July 10.

In a statement following charges being filed, York County Regional Police said it holds all employees to the highest of standards.

“We have fully cooperated with the Pennsylvania State Police throughout the course of this investigation,” the statement reads. “The Department holds all its employees to the highest standards of ethical, moral, and lawful conduct—both on and off duty. If an employee fails to meet these expectations, appropriate action will be taken to guarantee accountability.”
