(KNZA)--A St. Joseph, Missouri man convicted in a 2024 Brown County breach of privacy case has learned his fate.

According to court documents, 35-year-old Charles Wist was given a suspended prison sentence Monday in Brown County District Court on one count of felony breach of privacy and placed on 18-months supervised probation.

Wist pleaded no contest to the charge in June.

He will be required to register as a sex offender in the state of Kansas for 15 years.

The case arose out of allegations that Wist secretly recorded an adult female who was know to him without her permission.

He was charged following an investigation by the Brown County Sheriff's Office and Hiawatha Police Department. The investigation resulted in numerous cell phones belonging to Wist being seized and examined.
