LOGAN — A 22-year-old Logan man has been arrested for allegedly filming multiple teenagers using the bathroom and downloading child pornography. Brigham P. Schiess was booked into the Cache County Jail Tuesday afternoon.
According to an arrest affidavit, on Mar. 28, agents with the Cache Rich Drug Task Force served a search warrant to Schiess’ residence, near 300 E. 700 North. They seized a cellphone from his bedroom.
While searching the phone, police report they found evidence of sexual exploitation of a minor. They obtained another search warrant to extend their scope of the search and seize more electronics from Schiess’ residence.
As police searched the phone further, according to the affidavit, they found nine videos of voyeurism. The videos appeared to be made using a secret recording device in the home’s bathroom. They showed three different 15 or 16 year olds changing and showering.
Police also allegedly found images of child pornography. The pictures were of children between the ages of 10 and 11-years-old. They also found additional videos which appeared to have been taken with Schiess’ phone under the doorway of the bathroom, showing three unidentified people.
Schiess was detained Tuesday and advised of his Miranda rights. He reportedly refused to answer any questions without a lawyer present.
According to jail records, Schiess was booked on multiple suspicions of felony sexual exploitation of a minor, and misdemeanors of voyeurism and lewdness. He is being held pending arraignment on formal charges in 1st District Court.
Individuals arrested and charged in complaints are presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
