No jail for ex-federal security guard in Spokane

A former federal security guard in Spokane has been spared jail time after pleading guilty to using surveillance cameras to watch women undress.

SPOKANE, Wash. —

A former federal security guard in Spokane has been spared jail time after pleading guilty to using surveillance cameras to watch women undress.

Instead, Spokane County Superior Court Judge Maryann C. Moreno ordered three to four years of community supervision for 33-year-old Darin Earl Wanless. He also must register as a sex offender, undergo sexual deviancy counseling and provide a DNA sample.

Wanless pleaded guilty to using computer-linked security cameras in the U.S. Courthouse complex to watch women undress in a condominium and a hotel last year. Three other voyeurism counts were dismissed in a plea agreement.

Investigators wrote in court documents that Wanless made inappropriate use of the security cameras on at least 22 occasions
