A man was sentenced for targeting the pregnant wife of a deployed military service member in a crime that was partially witnessed by the husband through a home webcam system. The deployed soldier had set up security cameras in the home to keep an eye on his pregnant wife while he was stationed overseas. The footage captured the intruder entering the home and assaulting the woman. The husband, watching in real time from his overseas deployment, immediately contacted local law enforcement. The suspect was identified and arrested based on the webcam footage and other evidence. The case highlighted both the vulnerability of military families during deployments and the growing role of home surveillance technology in solving crimes. The sentencing brought some measure of closure to the military family, though advocates noted the lasting psychological impact such crimes have on victims and their families.
