Alounkune Vongsarasinh Allegedly Sets Up Camera To Film 15-Year-Old Roommate Nude

Alounkune Vongsarasinh hangs his head in court after he allegedly recorded his nude 15-year-old roommate in the bathroom.

A Connecticut man was arrested after he allegedly admitted to recording his 15-year-old roommate while she undressed in the bathroom.

Alounkune Vongsarasinh, 38, was collared on Tuesday in Glastonbury, accused of placing a digital camera in the bathroom and filming the nude teen while she showered, according to NBC Connecticut.

He allegedly told cops that he also planned to film the girl's mother.

The teen noticed the camera wedged between the windowsill and the blinds on Tuesday night, right after a shower, News 8 reported. She took the recordings -- which reportedly showed Vongsarasinh setting up the camera -- to her mom, and then to police.

Cops watched the video, confiscated Vongsarasinh's recording equipment and arrested him.

Vongsarasinh admitted to spying on the girl and her mother for over two weeks, but said that he didn't upload the videos on the Internet or share them with anyone, police said.

He was charged with voyeurism and child pornography and released from jail after he posted bail. He told News 8 outside the jailhouse that he was "terribly sorry."

Vongsarasinh signed an order of protection and can't go near his victims. The details of the living arrangement that brought Vongsarasinh and his victims under the same roof remain unclear.

Wow. Why would you let him go?

What a numb skull, this is child porn he is creating here, this is very serious and they would make the argument, that this type of activity would most often lead to violent behavior as it progressed over time. He sounds very remorseful and now has had a huge reality check.

I truly wonder what would happen, if it had been a woman doing the filming of a father and his mid teen son? Most likely they would call it very stupid and dumb, using very poor judgement and slap her with probation.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Slow news day. My dog had puppies yesterday, if anyone at HP wants the story.

They do, they just won't pay you for it.

The guy apparently doesn't even understand the implications of he himself said. Some how he manages to believe that saying he intended to film BOTH the mother without notification and the underage daughter should somehow help his case. He should ether be some place off the streets (likely jail) or at least be facing heavy fines and court ordered Therapy and community service (someplace not around underage children obviously)

Aw, give the poor guy a break, afterf all, they let you loose in public to inflict your POOR grasp of the english language on the public.

Unfortunately, even if by some means of magic, starting tomorrow just an accusation and medical exam of a sex-related crime victim permitted parents and/or adults to summarily execute the accused with a bullet to the head ... UTTERLY free of ANY prosecution ... Anyone who thinks it would put an end to sex-crimes is not all there. Yes the dead perpatrator will never rape, fondle etc again, but another WILL emerge into society. We need more intelligent work on solving the issue, not just gut-reaction, though I DO understand and have gut reations of my own. Somewhere, minds need to gather to attemopt to ferret out potential sex-offenders BEFORE they strike/act, WITHIN THE LAWS AND DUE PROCESS under our Constituion and a realistic judicial answer with what to do with the offenders.

I don't think the guy even fully understands what he implicated of himself in what he apparently said. Don't know how he thinks he could possibly help himself by clamming he planned to film both of them as if he really believes that should help his end of the sentencing at all.

What circumstance would allow a 38 yr old male to have a 15yr old female roommate?

Well somehow the mother allowed this adult man to be living with her and the teen daughter. Sounds like an inappropriate situation to begin with. Then it seems that the mother underestimated this man's moralality level. A selfish woman put her daughter in danger.

You are quick to judge the mother as selfish. You have absolutely no idea about her situation. Suppose she had a choice between losing her house and then living on the streets, homeless with her daughter or renting out a spare room in the house to pay the mortgage. You would want her to be homeless with the daughter? It appears the guy had no prior convictions and was not a registered sex offender. You expect the mother to be a mind reader? Many landlords have rented to seemingly nice people with good references and wound up with a horrible tenant. That seems to be what happened here. http://www.wtnh.com/dpp/news/crime/wtnh-man-arrested-for-child-pornography-glastonbury-april-4-2012

His original intentions was the mother, but he got the daughter, now he got caught.
08:44 AM on 04/06/2012
According to above, he claimed he ALSO intended to tape the mother. Sounds like an effort to reduce the child pornography charge. He's a liar.

Good question. HP has a knack of half-telling a story and leaving you hanging in the wind.

The mother rented out a room to the guy.

A lot of people are renting out rooms in their homes to try to pay the mortgage and avoid foreclosure.

This is was a very dumb act. Bond should be 500,000k.

WHY? What have you based THAT particular amount on?

Did this guy think he could actually get away with something like this? It's not like...you know...he's a Kennedy.
