Peeping Tom gets 10 years in prison

HELENA — A Helena man who was found guilty of putting a camera in a restroom at work and possessing child pornography has been sentenced to 20 years in prison with 10 suspended.

District Judge Kathy Seeley sentenced 27-year-old Jonathon Key Tucker on Thursday. He earlier pleaded guilty to sexual abuse of children, two counts of surreptitious visual observation and five misdemeanors. 

Tucker was arrested in February after a female employee at a jewelry store found a camera hidden inside a mop head in a woman’s bathroom. Investigating officers also found video of his female roommate using the bathroom at their residence along with several thousands of images of pornography on Tucker’s cellphone and laptop.
