OKLAHOMA CITY — A judge had harsh words for a man sentenced for hiding cameras in homes to capture images of girls.
Ryan Aaron Alden pleaded guilty in June to 28 felonies, including creating child pornography and possession of obscene material of minors.
Prosecutors say Alden hid cameras in the bedrooms, bathrooms and closets of four Oklahoma homes where he did electrical work.
"We're here because of the choices that you and you alone made," said Judge Palumbo. "The devastation that you caused these families may never be known.
Oklahoma County District Judge Amy Palumbo said during sentencing Wednesday that she would have ordered Alden castrated if the law allowed.
The 39-year-old was also sentenced to nearly 150 years in prison.
Police said they found child pornography on Alden's five computers and two phones.
