A depraved Ohio man has been locked away for a quarter century after secretly filming a minor in her own bathroom.
Henry Ritscher, 44, produced the child sex abuse material on September 6, 2025, in Johnson County, Kentucky.
The victim discovered the video, which showed her showering and changing, on one of Ritscher’s devices. A search warrant revealed a hidden camera in a cell phone charger used to capture the footage.
Ritscher confessed to law enforcement, admitting he used the videos to feed his twisted sexual fantasies.
Chief U.S. District Judge David Bunning handed down the 25-year sentence.
