I THOUGHT YOU WERE'NT ALLOWED TO PRINT MINORS NAMES FOR CRIMES THEY COMMIT ! MAYBE I'M WRONG....

Police released his name....might be due to the severity of the charges.

If he's charged as adult, it might be okay to do so...

Does anyone know where the camera lens was directed and what is what filming and also, excuse my ignorance but, what is a "pin-hole camera is a stand-alone device" and how could another student find it and how did they know whose it was? Not that anyone will know the hows & whys of the investigation, just wondering.

In IL a juvenile is someone under age of 17.

According to Crystal Lake Police Cmdr. Dan Dziewior:
Luke P. Gildea was charged as an adult with a felony offense (thereby allowing us to print his name). The approval for the felony was obtained through the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Also: I uploaded a photograph of a pin-hole camera. The camera is so small it can easily be hidden anywhere. It is not capable of providing live feed, but the images can be saved and transferred to other devices.

Silly boy--only the governemnt can spy. But wait...if the camera had caught a crime being committed, that would be interesting. Not long ago something similar happened in California I think, caught a crime, but because the camera was unauthrized the criminal got off.

just because that device can't transmit? really? easy to upload to antoher device that can transmit.

I imagine he will find plenty of what he was looking for in the jail showers

Guys he is a 17 year old boy. They often do dumb things without thinking and certainly never expect to be caught. He has no previous behavioral problems. Said to be a decent kid. A stupid decision yes. How many stupid things did you do at 17. A kid with no previous problems deserves a second chance - don't tell me if it were you or your child - you wouldn't want the same. This is not just local news folks. Destroy a kid who may have amounted to something. Not only does this effect his future, he has family - siblings in the community. Consider those who are also facing this who have done nothing. Be very careful before you start with the patenting...karma. People are doing far worse and do not get half the press. Maybe nailing him to the cross before all the facts are presented isn't the right way to go about this. Is the act wrong? No question about it - yes. However, two wrongs don't make a right.

I pray for this child, his family and our community .

This kid is a sicko the camera was in the locker room for 3 weeks he was taking the sd card and down loading on his PC the word out their is 30 victims he should be charged with 30 counts ' he said it was a prank but dont believe him why put a camera in the sophomore locker rooms when he & his friends are junior and seniors
they should throw teh book at him to teach him a lesson he may end up a pedifile
Parents should also file civil suits !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SICKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I. Agree this camera was pointed at the shower room entrance. This guy should be treated as a pedifile. I am sure a money trace will show he was being paid for the pictures or video's and the parents of whoever was in the pictures should be notified.
