A wealthy mom of four in Connecticut has pleaded guilty to the disturbing crime of filming minors without their consent inside of her multimillion-dollar home.
According to multiple outlets, Hadley Palmer entered the guilty plea to three counts of voyeurism and one count of risk of injury to a minor in the state Superior Court in Stamford on January 19. As part of a plea bargain with prosecutors, more serious charges the 53-year-old faced were dropped, including employing a minor in an obscene performance, which is a class A felony, conspiracy to employ a minor in an obscene performance, and second-degree possession of child sex abuse imagery, according to a shocking report in The New York Times.
Per the outlet, a Greenwich Police Department spokesman said the three victims were minors in 2017 and 2018 when the crimes happened. At least one of them was 15 years old or younger at the time. According to the Associated Press, court documents revealed that the charges against Palmer stemmed from when she filmed the victims naked or in their underwear with the “intent to arouse or satisfy the sexual desire of such person or any other person.” Court records show she was arrested on October 25, 2021.
