A former Provo High School custodian will have to spend the next 30 days with an ankle monitor and undergo sex-offender treatment for trying to take videos of students in a girls' locker room.
The 23-year-old was arrested in February after a student found a cell phone planted in a locker room restroom stall, officials said.
The custodian placed the phone in a garbage can and attempted to conceal it with trash, according to the Provo Police Department. The phone recorded two students in the restroom stall before it was spotted, police said.
Later that afternoon, the custodian went to school officials to report that his phone had been lost or stolen, police said.
He pleaded guilty last month to voyeurism, a class A misdemeanor. As part of his sentencing, 4th District Judge Derek Pullan said the 23-year-old would avoid spending 60 days in jail if he completes treatment and pays a $750 fine.
