A jury has found Robert Kuhn, former owner of Wayback Records, guilty of three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and three counts of invasion of privacy in a 2017 case.A judge declared a mistrial in August after Kuhn failed to appear in court. Police said Kuhn ran in front of a dump truck on I-235 near mile marker 7. When authorities arrived at the scene, Kuhn said he was attempting suicide after receiving bad news in court."Based on the information provided, defendant is a risk to himself and the safety of the public, as well as being a flight risk if he is discharged from the hospital," court documents stated.The Polk County Attorney's Office said Kuhn was found guilty Thursday. He faces up to 36 years in prison at a November 14 sentencing.In 2017, West Des Moines police said Kuhn recorded video of a young female employee in the bathroom of his record shop in August.A police report indicated the incident started when a worker said she asked Kuhn to use the restroom.The report stated Kuhn said he needed to clean it out quickly before she used it. She then spotted a camera covered by some clothing as she was going to the bathroom.When she was finished, she retrieved the camera and saw herself on the camera, West Des Moines police Sgt. Anthony Giampolo said.The girl told authorities that the tan-colored camcorder had been recording for approximately three minutes and 17 seconds. The girl said she saw in the video that Kuhn started the recording and placed the camcorder in the bathroom.She then proceeded to delete images of herself and quickly called her parents, police said.There were thousands of files -- including videos and pictures of what appears to be minors performing sexual acts -- on the SD card, according to the police report.Kuhn turned himself in to authorities after a nearly month-long investigation.Man arrested for allegedly filming girl as she uses restroom
