A Columbus man who secretly videotaped boys in the locker room of the Andover YMCA will spend 60 days in jail and two years on probation.

Christopher Michael Bradshaw pleaded guilty to two counts of interfering with privacy stemming from March 2013 incidents in which he used a smartwatch to record two boys changing clothes. Anoka County Judge Bethany Fountain Lindberg sentenced Bradshaw on Monday.

Anoka County prosecutors had initially charged Bradshaw, 49, with two additional counts of possession of child pornography but dropped those charges as part of the plea deal.

Prosecutors said under Minnesota law, it would have been difficult to prove that Bradshaw's images of children in states of undress were pornography.

Under Minnesota's child pornography statute, children must be in a sexual position or engaged in a sexual act in order for a picture to qualify as pornography.

"This is a disturbing incident in which young boys were targeted by a repeated offender," Anoka County Attorney Tony Palumbo said in a news release.

Bradshaw was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual assault involving a victim younger than 13 in Hennepin County in 1997.

He was discharged from probation in October 2012, four months before the Andover YMCA incidents. He was convicted in 1994 in Cook County of lewd and lascivious conduct.
