LOGAN — A 22-year-old Logan man has been sentenced to prison for filming multiple teenagers using the bathroom, downloading child pornography and other crimes. Brigham P. Schiess was given the maximum sentence after a judge said he had never seen such disgusting actions.

Schiess was sentenced Monday morning in 1st District Court. He previously accepted a plea deal, pleading guilty to six counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, a second-degree felony; two counts of possession of a firearm by a restricted person, a third-degree felony; and 10 misdemeanors for voyeurism, lewdness, propelling a bodily substance, and possession or use of a controlled substance.

Cache County Deputy Attorney Ronnie Keller said the case was “particularly shocking.”

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 as part of a drug investigation.

While searching the phone, police 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 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-old girls and boy changing and showering.

Police also found images of child pornography. The pictures were of children between 10-11 years old. They also found additional videos which appeared to have been taken with Schiess’ phone under the doorway of the bathroom, showing three more people.

During Monday’s sentencing, Schiess told the court that he knew he could be a better member of society.

Judge Spencer Walsh expressed concern that Schiess had become “pretty twisted” and a “danger to the community,” despite his young age. He noted that in all his years as a prosecutor and now judge, he had never seen such “disturbing crimes.”

Schiess was sentenced to two consecutive terms of one-to-15-years in prison and recommended credit for the 245 days already served. It will be up to the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole to determine the exact length of incarceration and whether or not to grant the credit.
