DENVER -- The man caught recording videos of women at three different metro area malls has accepted a sex offender plea deal.

Under the agreement, 21-year-old Mitchell McCall will serve two years of intensive sex offender probation.

While the probation is extensive, some have questioned why jail time isn't a part of the plea.

McCall was arrested after one of his victims saw him recording her on his phone in between their two dressing rooms at Forever 21 in Park Meadows mall.

"I was angry. I was nervous. I just was in disbelief really," said the victim, who asked Denver7 to hide her identity.

When McCall let Lone Tree Police searched his phone, investigators said they found 20 disturbing videos of partially nude women at Park Meadows, Cherry Creek and FlatIron Crossing malls.

While the case may seem like a slam dunk, legal expert and defense attorney Dan Recht said it's not that simple.

"When I look at the case, I see a difficult case for the prosecution," said Recht. "When they searched the phone they didn't see any photographs of this young women."

The victim said her mom kicked the phone back under the stall and as a result, you can't make her out in the video.

"The problem here is unusual," said Recht.

As far as the other disturbing videos, police said they were unable to identify any of those victims.

"You need a victim to say I did not consent to that," said Recht.

That's why Recht thinks McCall took the plea deal. It will also require him to register as a sex offender in addition to the two years of intensive sex offender probation.

"You can't live within x distance of children; you can't go certain places; [they] give you routine lie detectors," he said. "It's not simply a slap on the wrist; it's a slap on the wrist day after day for two years."

McCall also received a deferred judgment, which means he can have the charges removed from his record if he meets all the requirements of his probation and has no run-ins with the law.

The district attorney's office also said the victim was satisfied with the plea and did not want to go to trial where she would have to testify in open court.
