-A Marshfield man has pleaded guilty to filming women in a bathroom.Back in October, a teenage girl found a cell phone on the floor of the bathroom while she was changing and noticed that it was recording.
The phone was traced back to Joseph Wright who said the phone had been stolen. After police reviewed the video on the phone, they noticed a man, which fit Wright?s appearance, placing the phone on the floor and then running off.
Wright admitted that he had attempted to tape a woman changing and it was one of several instances. Wright has charges of capturing images of nudity and invasion of privacy, both as a repeat offender, filed against him.
Wright did plead guilty to the capturing images of nudity charges and the invasion of privacy charge was dismissed, but read into the record.
A pre-sentencing investigation was ordered and his bond will continue. During the plea hearing, Wright did ask if he could get the phone back as it isn?t his and belongs to a company in Marshfield. The judge said that matter would have to be taken up during the sentencing hearing.
