A 52-year-old creep is facing up to 30 years behind bars for shooting phone video of a 15-year-old girl while she bathed at a home in Missouri, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.
Rayford Evans was found guilty attempted sexual exploitation of a minor after a one-day trial on Tuesday stemming from the sicko’s attempt’s to film the girl on Nov. 17, 2022, according to the feds.
Prosecutors said Evans “used his cell phone to record a 15-year-old girl while she was bathing and using the bathroom by holding it up to a window above the bathroom door.
“The victim saw the phone and told a friend, the friend’s father and then her own father, who contacted police,” the US Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Missouri said in a press release.
A spokesperson for the office said Wednesday that Evans was inside the home at the time of the crime but it is unclear if the victim and her family wee somehow acquainted with Evans.
Evans, of Doniphan, Missouri, is scheduled to be sentenced in the case later this year, and faces a maximum prison term of 15 to 30 years, according to prosecutors.
The case was prosecuted under the Project Safe Childhood federal initiative, which was launched by the Department of Justice in May 2006.
The initiative taps federal, state and local resources to combat child sexual exploitation.
