(KNZA)--A Mayetta man, accused of video recording minors in a restroom, has been arrested.
According to a news release issued Friday by Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, 52-year-old Kerry Wathen, Jr. was arrested Friday on a Jackson County District Court warrant.
He is being charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a child and four counts of breach of privacy.
According to Morse, the warrant stems from an investigation leading to allegations that Wathen “unlawfully video recorded victims in a restroom on multiple occasions.”
On November 1 last year, deputies and investigators raided Wathen’s home, east of Mayetta, and seized computers and other electronic items.
Following his arrest, Wathen was booked into the Jackson County Jail.
Bond is set at $10,000.
