Fenton Man Charged With Videotaping Stepdaughter in Shower Enters Plea

A Fenton man has entered a plea on charges that he videotaped his stepdaughter in the shower and in the bathroom.

Livingston County’s WHMI-FM (93.5) reported Tuesday that Gary Wayne Anthony pleaded guilty to seven counts of using a computer to commit a crime and seven counts of capturing or distributing images of unclothed, underage persons.

The radio station also reports the court has agreed to a minimum of a 16-month sentence for each count. With the 14 counts, that would amount to nearly 19 years.

In March, WNEM-TV (Channel 5) reported that the stepdaughter, who was 15 and 16 at the time, found the explicit videos of herself on the computer.

The Flint Journal reported in March that the incidents happened in 2007 and 2008 and that the stepdaughter, now 20, found the images after borrowing the computer in January.

“He got her nakedly going to the bathroom and taking a shower and going in the bathroom,” Genesee County Sheriff Robert Pickell said in the WNEM story. “He had hidden cameras all in the bathroom."

Bond was set at $1.2 million, because Anthony traveled frequently to Japan for his engineering job, WNEM reported.
