DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — A former Davenport official who admitted placing a hidden camera in a restroom has been sentenced to 16 years in prison. The Quad-City Times reports 47-year-old Roy DeWitt was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty in June to eight counts of invasion of privacy.

DeWitt, a former city housing programs manager who now lives in Pella, said he was “extremely remorseful for what I did.” An arrest affidavit stated that DeWitt concealed a digital camera in an employee-only restroom at a city-owned apartment building. The affidavit said eight people were recorded multiple times from January 2017 to March 2018.

DeWitt was fired March 19 after failing to attend an interview and pre-disciplinary meeting. He had worked for the city since 2007.
