GREEN LAKE, Wis. (AP) -- A Berlin photographer convicted of secretly videotaping models and pageant contestants as they disrobed in the bathroom of his home studio has been sentenced to two years in jail.
Forty-eight-year-old Clayton Weiss was convicted on 10 counts of capturing nude images and one count of invasion of privacy with the use of a surveillance device.
Investigators say he hired the women for bogus advertisements.
Weiss hid video cameras behind vents in his bathroom, using multiple cameras to shoot the women between 2002 and 2007.

GREEN LAKE, Wis. (AP) --- A Berlin man has been found guilty on charges that he used secret cameras to videotape beauty pageant contestants and other women as they undressed in the bathroom of his photo studio.
Some of the 10 victims in a criminal complaint were contestants in Miss Wisconsin, Miss Oshkosh and Miss Berlin pageants who agreed to photo shoots by 48-year-old Clayton Weiss, believing the photos were for advertisements.
The complaint says Weiss videotaped them with hidden cameras. But a Ripon teen noticed a camera leans in a heat vent and alerted her mother, and they called police.
Weiss changed his plea Friday from not guilty to no contest.
The charges include making a visual representation of nudity, attempting to make a visual representation of nudity an d invasion of privacy.

Lana, are you suggesting this type of activity become legal? This guy needs to be held accountable for his actions. Some people may have to view it (DA and Judge) but at least this guy is doen taking advantage of young females. You post seeme somewhat odd considering the circumstances of this case. You claim they will sue.....chances are this type of guy does not have much money. This is not a civil case at this point but a criminal case. Police and the judges obviously will not make copies, but if they did I would expect consequences for them also. Sometimes you have to trust people. There are always some bad apples but the majority of cops are good people. I am sure this will be stored in evidence for years and years, and after the court case no one will ever have to view it again!
