A former Alabama vice-principal convicted of making child pornography may have finally learned at least one lesson.
Tim Clevenger admitted last week to secretly filming a young girl at his house who was visiting his daughter – after blaming his 9-year-old son for the same crime in a previous case.
The 54-year-old pleaded guilty Thursday to two counts of production of child pornography and two counts of possession of child pornography, Al.com reported.
The onetime assistant principal at Locust Fork High School, near Birmingham, had been convicted of identical charges in 2018, in a case involving another young girl who was friends with his daughter.
Clevenger secretly filmed both victims in 2013, recording them at night from outside of the house through window blinds as they used his bathroom or showered.
He was caught after technical workers charged with fixing his school-owned laptop came across the illicit footage.
Yet the ex-educator at first tried to worm his way out with a cynical ruse, claiming that his 9-year-old son must have made the illegal recording and put in on his computer.
He was sentenced to 18 years on each production count and seven years on each possession count, as the second victim listened in court to his guilty plea.
“Today, for the first time, Tim Clevenger admitted that he perpetuated these horrific crimes against a young girl,” Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey said, according to the news outlet.
“In 2018, he refused to acknowledge his guilt in the trial related to the first victim and instead testified that his 9-year-old son had snuck out of the house at night and took these videos and downloaded them onto this computer.”
“It takes a real piece of crap to blame their own child for committing such vile acts knowing that they had actually done it,” Casey added.
Clevenger has been behind bars since his original conviction in June 2018.
