For one family, who felt their privacy violated when their neighbor took pictures of young girls while they were using the bathroom, jail time is not enough.
The mother of two Puyallup girls who were videotaped by Steven Powell has filed a civil lawsuit.
The lawsuit is for unspecified damages relating to severe emotional distress and invasion of privacy.
Steven Powell was found guilty of 14 counts of voyeurism in May for recording images of the girls while they were in the bathroom or getting dressed. They were eight and nine years old at the time.
Steven Powell was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for recording images of two neighbor girls in their bathroom.
Steven Powell, the father-in-law of missing Utah mom Susan Cox Powell, filed a notice of appeal with Superior Court in June.
