Former Nurse's Aide Sentenced To Jail for Explicit Photographs
We discussed Shane Spooner, a former nurse's aide at Clinton County Nursing Home in New York, in previous blogs.
For amusement, Spooner took a photograph of the genitals of a 49 year-old traumatic brain injury resident and sent it via text message to a female co-worker. The woman reported the incident to supervisors and Spooner was eventually terminated.
After a police investigation, Spooner was charged with second degree unlawful surveillance and first degree dissemination of an unlawful surveillance image. He plead guilty to a reduced misdemeanor charge of attempted first degree of an unlawful surveillance image. He was sentenced to 45 days in jail on October 23, 2009 for taking the photograph, placed on three years' probation, and fined $500.
