Man Sentenced in Secret Videos of Women
A former assistant dean at Stanford University has been sentenced to four years probation for secretly videotaping women as they undressed in his campus apartment.
A Municipal Court judge sentenced Keith Archuleta on Thursday, after Archuleta’s lawyer entered a no contest plea on his behalf to misdemeanor charges of electronic eavesdropping.
He also was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.
Archuleta, 37, was Stanford’s assistant dean of student affairs and director of the university’s Black Community Services Center when he was arrested last month. He resigned June 2.
According to police, 11 women were videotaped in various stages of undress in the bedroom of Archuleta’s campus dormitory apartment, where he had a photo studio.
Most of the women, including several Stanford students, had gone to Archuleta’s apartment to pose fully clothed for a book of poetry he had written, police said.
Archuleta videotaped them as they changed clothes while he waited outside.
