    This is not to defend the man. But it sounds like he was caught doing a ton of illegal recording of people in rental properties and some of those included minors so, thankfully he wasn’t actively targeting minors, but at the same time a complete scumbag recording people without their consent.

      He also had images of kids that weren’t captured by the cameras, the creator of those images had already been arrested:

      "Citing court records, KXAN-TV reported that among the files found on Wasek’s memory card were images of people who appeared to be prepubescent. Detectives from the Travis County Sheriff’s Office sent the images to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and compared the images to known victims in the center’s database. The comparison led to the identification of a girl aged 6 to 8 years old.

      According to the television station, the girl had previously been recorded when she was 7 years old. The images were then distributed online, leading to the conviction of a suspect for two counts of production of child pornography, one count of distribution of child pornography and another count for possessing the content."
