Cell Phone Repairman Accepts Plea Deal In Image Theft Case

(KAIR)--A jury trial for the Denton man accused of stealing personal images from two female victims is canceled after he entered a guilty plea to a reduced charge.

42-year-old Jason Seetin had originally pled not guilty in Atchison County Court to two counts of breech of privacy and two counts of computer crime. A jury trial had been scheduled for June 27 in the case.

However, Seetin accepted a plea bargain Friday and pled guilty to an amended computer crime charge.

Sentencing is set for June 30th.

Charges for Seetin stem from a January incident when Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson said a 21-year-old victim report images from her phone were unlawfully obtained while the phone was in Seetin's possession at his Atchison business, All American Pawn for repair.

After that initial report, another victim came forward who also had personal photos taken from her laptop that was taken to the pawn shop weeks prior.
