LOGAN — A 41-year-old Logan man who was previously arrested for voyeurism twice, has pleaded guilty again to videoing a woman changing clothes at a North Logan department store. Jordan M. Larsen accepted a plea deal that allowed him to be released from jail while awaiting sentencing.
Larsen participated in a virtual hearing in 1st District Court Wednesday morning, appearing by web conference from the Cache County Jail. He pleaded guilty to one count of voyeurism by electronic equipment, a class A misdemeanor.
Defense attorney Ryan Holdaway said that as part of the plea agreement, he and prosecutors were asking the court to release Larsen on probation until sentencing. He explained how his client had already served 31 days in jail.
Larsen was arrested March 2 after North Park Police officers were called to the store, on report of a male individual who was seen putting his phone under the dressing room stall as a female was changing. However, once law enforcement arrived, the suspect had reportedly fled the store on foot.
Police spoke to the victim and collected evidence at the store.
Larsen turned himself into the North Park Police Department a day later. He reportedly admitted to officers that he had placed the phone under the dressing room stall and recorded a six second video.
Court records show that Larsen is currently on probation after trying to record girls in a dressing room at the Cache Valley Mall, and filming under women’s skirts on the USU campus. The crimes occurred in 2016. He was also arrested in Davis County by Farmington police on similar crimes in 2019.
Larsen spoke only briefly during Wednesday’s court appearance, pleading guilty to the crime and waiving his rights to a trial.
Judge Brian Cannell said he would follow attorney’s request and release Larsen until sentencing. He ordered the defendant though to meet and comply with probation agents as soon as he is released.
Larsen was scheduled to be sentenced June 8. He still could face up to one year in jail.
Clearly this guy can’t seem to stop this despicable behavior, and therefore harsher punishment is in order! Stop letting him get away with this!
Give him the max. Obviously going to keep doing it with such lenient sentences. Max is only 1 year??? Make these women feel violated for the rest of their lives and max is only 1 year.. disgusting.
This sicko should be locked up for at least 5 years or more. He obviously can not stop doing this
kind of thing and he could end up doing worse things in the future.
Given that he doesn’t seem to have any control on his horrible impulses, I have to question why he would be let out of jail at all. He’s just going to keep doing it. With so many victims I can’t believe the courts are being so lenient. Shameful.
He will go on to commit even more despicable crimes unless he is neutered or locked away for life.
