LAYTON — A convicted voyeur in Layton has been arrested yet again and accused of similar crimes.
Steve Edward Callen, 36, of Roy, was arrested Tuesday for investigation of three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, three counts of voyeurism by electronic equipment, and failure to register as a sex offender.
Callen was recently spotted at the Overlook at Sunset Point Apartments in Layton, where at least one tenant had a stalking injunction against him, according to a police affidavit.
Police looked at Callen’s phone and found “voyeuristic videos from unknown locations and with unknown suspects,” the affidavit states.
One video appears to show the phone “being placed under a divider into another bathroom stall where a woman was standing. ... Once the first video was completed, a second video was shown involving the same incident, but with a different woman,” according to the affidavit.
Police seized Callen’s phone and obtained a search warrant to go through the rest of it.
“Several, if not hundreds of videos and images were taken of numerous unidentified women as they used the bathroom. Steve would show his face in the video and then place the camera under the stall. ... There were also three children that Steve captured,” the affidavit says.
Detectives also found three videos of a woman being filmed through the blinds of her apartment without her knowledge, according to the affidavit.
Police noted in their affidavit that Callen “has multiple charges and convictions of voyeurism.”
He was charged and convicted with similar crimes in 2017. He was convicted in two separate cases in 2017 with a total of two counts of voyeurism by electronic equipment and stalking, both class A misdemeanors; and voyeurism, a class B misdemeanor.
In October, he was convicted again of voyeurism by electronic equipment. And in March, he was charged in 2nd District Court with two more counts of voyeurism and trespassing, both class B misdemeanors, after police say he was caught once again looking into windows at the Overlook at Sunset Point Apartments, according to a police affidavit.
