A Wisconsin man who used his cell phone to secretly record nude videos of a 14-year-old girl and her mother will not serve any time behind bars, according to the Leader Telegram.

Daniel C. Anderson, 32, was arrested in 2014 after a neighbor reported a man looking through the girl’s bedroom window. He was apprehended by Eau Claire police and admitted to making the recordings.

The officers found a four-minute video of the girl showering and getting dressed on Anderson’s cell phone. They also uncovered twelve more nude videos of the girl and four nude videos of her mother. The video of the girl was uploaded to the Internet and made “accessible to the public,” according to court records.

Anderson will be on probation for two years and is required to complete 20 days of community service
Anderson had also faced a felony count of possession of child pornography, four misdemeanor counts of invasion of privacy and misdemeanor counts of obstructing an officer and disorderly conduct — but those charges were dismissed.

1. After all, they're only females and he's a MAN.

[Dont call me Shirley]

2. The judge took pity upon a fellow sex offender....

19. Eh?

Interesting response. Does he judge have a history?

[Dont call me Shirley]

20. Light sentence. Just makes me think of one protecting another.

3. Here's one of the reasons

such men continue to objectify and offend against women:

Anderson will be on probation for two years and is required to complete 20 days of community service
Anderson had also faced a felony count of possession of child pornography, four misdemeanor counts of invasion of privacy and misdemeanor counts of obstructing an officer and disorderly conduct — but those charges were dismissed.

Disgusting.

4. He has proven to the world he's an opportunist, a pervert, and he cannot be trusted, ever.

It should follow him everywhere, regardless of how acceptable the judge thinks he is.

[Journeyman]

5. Some charges were dismissed, and the punishment is adequate, because they were his first offense...

Eau Claire County assistant district attorney Kelly Mandelstein insisted the sentence fit the crime because Anderson did not have a prior criminal history.

I was unaware child pornographers can be granted a "mulligan" because they're "unprepared."

[question everything]

6. Sue the bastard and get a similar jury as Erin Andrews' and Hulk Hogan's

See how he likes it when the jury hands down a verdict of $50 million.

[Sherman A1]

9. Agreed

Get a judgement against him and garnish his wages until it's all paid.

[blackspade]

7. Fucking rediculous.

8. Any proof the judge kept the videos?

10. Congrats to Daniel for assembling one helluva defense team: lawyer, assistant DA, and judge. /nt

12. I think that prohibition

shows whomever imposed it has very little tech knowledge. He could simply buy an IPod Touch, it's not a phone but has all the features his disgusting mind needs.

13. What a scumbag.

[Ilsa]

14. Who has the pool on when he does it again?

I would bet soon, after a stressful day. For all we know, his community service will include yardwork for battered women's shelters. He'll volunteer to trim the hedges around the bathrooms. Maybe we'll get lucky and a furious husband will beat him to death.

17. When he does it again, or when he gets caught again?

I'd be willing to bet he's going to do it again. He might be more careful about getting caught next time.

It's amazing to me that the same country where a teenage girl and her boyfriend can be prosecuted because she sent him pictures a grown man walks free after creepshotting a child. Was he rich or related to the judge or something?

[Ilsa]

21. This rationalizing about it being his first offense

is such a crock. This is the first time he got caught, but apparently he'd been doing it awhile. Why doesn't his behavior qualify as a repeat offender?

[jmowreader]

23. Give me the "two weeks" square, please

If I can also have the "day and a half" one, pencil me in.

[iamthebandfanman]

15. good lord...

/facepalm ...
makes me feel like I'm reading the oniom, not real life

[AllyCat]

16. WTF???

Well, the "girl pepper-sprayed at a Trump rally deserved it" crowd should be along any minute.

[Victor_c3]

22. At the very least he should be put on the sex offender registry

That'd leave a mark on his record for life and cause him all sorts of well deserved hardships. 2 years of probation is wayyyyy too lax for exploiting a minor.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

24. In other news some kid gets charged with distributing kiddie porn for being naughty with an iphone.

[OnyxCollie]

25. Why?!?

[Grins]

26. Wait for the civil suit...!

Same thing happened to Erin Andrews and she took him to civil court. If there is a dog....
