He knew he was toast. And that if convicted/sent to prison, due to both his crime and his (former) occupation, he might have a rougher-than-average go of things.

Yeah, when you start eating digital storage devices to hide/destroy evidence, you're pretty much holding up a 6-foot flashing neon sign saying "I'm guilty as shit". Idiot.

From the same article above:

Quote:
Newell also spent time at a cabin in Fishing Creek, Md., and sometimes hosted juvenile guests overnight, according to court records.
Family friends? Neighbor's kids? Some sort of scout/church group?

The story doesn't make clear, but what, exactly, were all these teen boys doing at his fishing cabin in such numbers? What was the situation there? And were their parents Michael Jackson fans?



Quote:
The morning of July 23, a teenage boy — approximately 15 — entered a bathroom adjacent to Newell’s bedroom to shower. He noticed what appeared to be a little camera, with a green blinking light, on a corner shelf tucked inside a small black utility crate, records state. The boy took pictures of it with his cellphone, according to the records.

He went to find another teen to tell him about the camera. That’s when he saw Newell go into the bathroom and retreat to his bedroom with several items in his hand, according to the FBI criminal complaint.

The boys went into the bathroom and the camera was gone.

A brief time later, each teen called his parents, telling them about the camera.

“Their parents then contacted law enforcement,” the FBI wrote.


Investigators arrived the same day.


"Each teen called his parents", meaning there was more than one kid there. At least two, the story kinda makes it sound like. Then the parents called the cops. What made these parents cool with sending their kids off to a fishing cabin with a grown man who, I assume, wasn't a close relative or some sort of scout/church youth leader?

Who are there parents? Where were they? Friends of the judge? No initial inkling/suspicion? The whole "he's a sitting judge, ffs, what could possibly happen?" thing at play?

Well, apparently His Honor was tugging it in his master suite to pics/video of your son lathering up with the Irish Spring. That's what could possibly happen.
