A former foster father pleaded guilty Thursday to filming a minor without the minor’s knowledge while the minor was masturbating in a bedroom.
Robert F. McFee, 69, of Vancouver entered a Newton plea — acknowledging that a jury could find him guilty of the crime but not admitting to guilt — to charges of voyeurism, first-degree dealing in depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct and first-degree possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
McFee, who is represented by attorney Steven Thayer, is scheduled to be sentenced for the crimes Jan. 29. He faces up to several years in prison and will be required to register as a sex offender for 10 years. He is free on $75,000 bond until his sentencing.
In exchange for McFee’s guilty plea, Deputy Prosecutor Colin Hayes dismissed more than a dozen other counts, including dealing in and possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
