Shane Spooner

Thirty-three year old Shane Spooner has been charged with felony offenses of second-degree unlawful surveillance and first-degree dissemination of an unlawful surveillance image after photographing the genitals of a helpless nursing home resident.

Spooner was taking care of a 49 year old man suffering from a traumatic brain injury when he photographed the man's genitals using his cell phone and emailed the photograph to a female employee of the nursing home facility, who reported it to nursing home supervisors. Spooner admitted to taking the photograph for his own amusement and has since been fired from the facility.
