A man was convicted of secretly videotaping women at his bar as they used the bathroom and a tanning booth.
A judge hearing the case without a jury convicted William Lutson on Tuesday after reviewing 90 minutes of videotape from cameras hidden in a light fixture over a toilet and in a laundry basket at the Grand Ole Bar in Chatsworth.
Prosecutors said Lutson, 57, secretly recorded at least 12 women at the central Illinois bar in July 2005. Lutson never testified and his lawyer, Lance Cagle, never explained why his client hid cameras, which were hooked up to a recorder in Lutson's living quarters nearby.
Some of the women were minors, prosecutors said.
"They were videoed, transmitted and recorded all without consent, permission or authority," prosecutor Carey Luckman said. "Each of these women expressed their disbelief, the shock ..."
Lutson is scheduled for sentencing March 24 on four felonies and 20 misdemeanors. Each felony carries a maximum five-year sentence. Each misdemeanor carries a sentence of up to a year and a $2,500 fine.

We've had lots of these stories in the press over the last few years. Right today in high schools across the continent thousands of boys are videotaping girls as they move down the hall and doing whatever they do about the school grounds. There are thousands of individuals in malls and public walkways secretively videotaping their latest crush. We've got ourselves a peeper society.

I recall a new story from a few years ago in the Peterborough area, where a man was caught with scuba gear in the bottom of a women's outhouse at some provincial park, now that was disgustnasty.

With the explosion in digital technology in the last decade the world has become a breeding ground for perverts. Of all ages. I doubt any time in world history has witnessed such a tsunami of voyeurism as exists today. I have no doubt there is not a street in the nation without its resident deviant. Nor business nor school with theirs.
