All individuals who were victimized were identified during the investigation, Union County Prosecutor William Daniel said.

“Invasion of privacy is a violation of an individual’s fundamental right to privacy and security,” Daniel said. “This sentence sends a clear message that such actions will not be tolerated in our community.”
