GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — A St. Mary’s County man has sentenced to more than 19 years in prison for hiding a camera in a bathroom he shared with a 14-year-old boy.

Forty-nine-year-old Ronald Davis Pope of Mechanicsville was also ordered to register as a sex offender at sentencing Tuesday in federal court in Greenbelt.

According to his plea agreement, Pope lived with a family last year. Prosecutors say Pope secretly recorded the teen in the shower and transferred the videos to his computer and cellphone.
