Teen Sentenced For Taking Photos Of Women In Changing Room
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (CBS4)- The teen who hid and took photos of women in the changing area of a store at the Outlets at Castle Rock has been sentenced.
Austin Kyle Baker, 19, of Castle Rock, pleaded guilty to invasion of privacy for sexual gratification. He was sentenced Thursday to five days in jail and four years supervised probation as a sex offender.
Police in Castle Rock were called by a woman who said she saw a young man looking over the wall of the changing room while she was inside.
The investigation led officers to arrest Baker on Jan. 4.
The former Reebok employee had allegedly set up a ladder to take pictures of customers as they changed. The arrest warrant shows Baker admitted to spying on at least 10 women. Castle Rock Police also recovered several deleted photos on his cellphone.
"The violation of multiple victims' privacy in this case is disturbing. The fact that he preyed on women who trusted that the changing would be safe, and that he further choose to document his violations of their privacy by taking photographs, aggravated his crime," said Deputy District Attorney Geoff DeWeese in a statement, "Jail followed by four years of intensive supervised probation and sex offender treatment, in addition to his requirement to register, are appropriate and necessary to ensure the safety of the community."
