A Des Moines man who was already facing nearly 100 charges in state court over hidden cameras found in portable toilets at public events has now been charged federally.
A federal grand jury in Des Moines returned a 13-count indictment on Wednesday, Dec. 10 charging Tyler Boyd Pavlick, 32, with offenses related to sexual exploitation and attempted sexual exploitation of children, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
