GILLETTE (WNE) — A Campbell County man whose cellphone was seized last summer as evidence for a suspected hunting crime now faces additional criminal charges after the same phone had images of a woman showering.
Clifton Kennedy, 61, pleaded not guilty Feb. 1 to two felony counts of voyeurism.
Kennedy and a woman were investigated in June for allegedly killing big game animals out of season and for trespassing on private property. He reportedly admitted to Wyoming Game and Fish investigators that photos of the illegally killed animals had been taken on his cellphone, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
The investigators found numerous photos of the animals on the cellphone, but they also found two videos and a photo that appeared to have been taken from outside of a home looking through a bathroom window. They showed a nude woman preparing to take a shower, according to the affidavit.
The woman didn't know Kennedy was outside, and when she turned toward the window, he ducked out of view. The videos, which were taken in March, lasted about 1½ minutes and 3 minutes.
Gillette police were able to identify the home because at the end of one video, the camera turned toward Garner Lake Road, according to the affidavit.
Police then identified the woman, who told them she hadn't given permission to Kennedy to record her.
Voyeurism carries a maximum penalty of up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
