OREGON CITY, Ore. - The prosecutor said most people laugh at the idea of a "Peeping Tom." But he says in the case of Paul Klick, this is an extremely aggravated case of a Peeping Tom. And now Klick will spend time in both state and federal prison.

Klick pleaded guilty Tuesday to eight counts related to peeping into homes in the Damascus area while underage girls were getting undressed. Prosecuters said he also encouraged girls to do sexual acts on camera and stole underwear from the room of one child.

Klick gets 96 months in prison. The first 24 months will be in Oregon state prison, the remaining 76 months will be in federal prison.

Until Tuesday Klick was pleading "not guilty" to 10 counts of invasion of personal privacy and three counts of encouraging child sexual abuse in the first degree. Today he pleaded "guilty" to seven counts of the personal privacy and one count burglary.

The road through court
Neighbors suspected his behavior for a long time until one tackled him in the act this past summer. In a search of Klick's home, police said they found more than 60 videos made by Klick while peering into area homes.

"The fact that it was so invasive was the hard part for me," said David, the father of one of Klick's victims. "The [victims] are doing well for what they were exposed to, what they had to deal with."

Klick did say a few words to the judge during his change of plea.

"I'm very sorry for what I did, and for what this has done to my family," Klick said to the judge in court. "Please forgive me."

For David and the other families in court Tuesday, the apology wasn't good enough.

"He apologized to the court," David said. "He didn't apologize to the families." 

The victim's families said Klick deserves every month in prison.

"The kids were innocent and he took advantage of them," David said. "He's impacted the lives of not just our daughter, but a whole slew of kids."

This case was a joint investigation and joint sentence from the U.S. Attorney and Clackamas County prosecutor’s office.
