A Florida jury has acquitted two integrator technicians who were arrested in 2021 on charges of felony video voyeurism.
In this report, we analyze the acquittal, the defense's case, based on IPVM's interview with one of the defense attorneys, and the ongoing civil suit against the techs.

Criminal ***********: Reilly and Lewis faced felony charges but were acquitted on September 21, 2023. The defense argued that video logs could have been manipulated and that the alleged male victim had a motive to mislead the jury. While both claims are theoretically possible, the defense did not have positive evidence for either, raising questions about their veracity. The men were acquitted because of the high evidentiary burden of criminal cases, which holds that prosecutors must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Ongoing ***** ******: Reilly, Lewis, and Ask the Advisors face an ongoing civil suit. Civil cases have a lower evidentiary burden (>50% chance of the events being true). The outcome will give more insight into whether the alleged events occurred.
Consumer *********: The case highlights the risks of installing cameras in private areas. Consumers should be cautious about placing cameras in sensitive spaces and take necessary precautions to protect their privacy.
