A cellphone salesperson arrested after reportedly texting intimate videos of a male customer to herself while carrying out a phone upgrade appeared in Baxter County Circuit Court last Monday (March 10).
Twenty-two-year-old Riley Michael Shane Tapp of Mountain Home pled not guilty to six felony charges — three counts each of video voyeurism and unlawful use or access to computers.
The victim went into the store to have his phone upgraded. Tapp is identified as the person who did the work.
After leaving, the victim noticed a sent message on the upgraded phone that he did not recognize.
According to the probable cause affidavit, the message contained a sexually explicit video of the victim.
During the investigation, it was discovered that the number the victim had seen on his phone belonged to Tapp and an interview was conducted.
Tapp initially told investigators the video had been “air dropped” to her phone accidentally. When told that the video had been sent by text, Tapp was reported to have had no other explanation as to what happened.
A search warrant was executed on Tapp’s phone and investigators found two more explicit videos of the victim.
Tapp is free on $5,000 bond.
