A Bristol Township man has entered a guilty plea to several charges related to his alarming invasion of privacy of two juvenile girls. On Tuesday, John V. Dutton, 55, admitted to the installation of covert spy cameras with the intent to record his former girlfriend's teenage daughters in the bathroom.
According to a Bucks County government announcement, Dutton faced the judge and pleaded guilty to six counts of invasion of privacy, along with two counts of interception of oral communications and one count of possession of a controlled substance.
Lingering feelings of suspicion were confirmed back in August 2023 when the girls' mother found what seemed to be a surreptitiously placed spy camera described as a USB cell phone charging port. Insisting they should not have a shower curtain or only a clear one, Dutton raised the mother's suspicion, as per Bucks County.
The unsettling developments unfolded in the home Dutton shared with the mother and her children. Judge Charissa J. Liller presided over the Tuesday hearing where Dutton offered his guilty plea.
