PORTLAND — An Oregon man charged with secretly recording women and children at his apartment and his job has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.

The Oregonian/OregonLive reports 38-year-old Leighton Olson of Aloha, just outside Portland, was sentenced Thursday. He had pleaded guilty to recording two female co-workers in an employee bathroom at Little Caesars and another girl while she was in his apartment bathroom.

Authorities say they found the recordings after obtaining a search warrant for Olson’s apartment and discovering a large collection of women’s underwear while responding to a suspicious circumstance call.

It’s not clear where he got all the underwear, but investigators say he stole some from his female neighbor’s apartment.

Olson did not make any statements at his sentencing.
