(KNZA)--A St. Joseph, Missouri man has been convicted in a 2024 Brown County breach of privacy case.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill said 35-year-old Charles Wist pleaded no contest Monday in Brown County District Court to one count of felony breach of privacy.
Due to his conviction, Hill said Wist will be required to register as a sex offender in the State of Kansas for 15 years and will face between 7 to 23 months in prison depending on his prior criminal history.
Sentencing was set for July 7th.
Hill said 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 that resulted in numerous cell phones belonging to the defendant being seized and examined.
Wist remains free on bond.
