UPDATE: Tuesday, 8/18
GREENUP, Ky. (WSAZ) -- A plea deal for a man who admitted to videotaping girls at two pools, means he won't go to jail.
Kent Juett pleaded guilty to charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct.
Juett was arrested earlier this year after investigators say he videotaped young girls at two pools in Greenup County, Kentucky.
As part of his plea agreement, Juett was sentenced to a year of home confinement and can only leave his house for church or doctors appointments if he is accompanied by a family member.
He also can't use a computer or photography equipment and can't have contact with anyone under the age of 18.
If he violates those terms, Juett could end up in jail.
UPDATE: Wednesday, 7/1
GREENUP, Ky. (WSAZ) -- A man who authorities say was videotaping children at local pools was in court Wednesday morning.
James "Kent" Juett was arraigned on trespassing and disorderly conduct charges involving incidents at two pools in Greenup County.
Courts documents indicate the trespassing charge happened at the Tranqilan Pool in Flatwoods in June; while the disorderly conduct charge is the result of an incident at the Greenbo Park Pool, which was also in June.
In the Greenbo incident, officers say they watched video from a camera they found in his car that showed close-up images of various body parts of young girls at the pool.
The same report also indicates the Juett was banned from the Flatwoods pool for talking to young girls, and asking them if they wanted to model for him.
Juett is being held in the Greenup County Detention Center. He won't be allowed near children or local swimming pools if he makes bond.
Warning signs have bee posted at pools in eastern Kentucky, according to Greenup County Attorney Mike Wilson.
Juett is expected back in court on June 8.
ORIGINAL STORY: June 24
GREENUP COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) -- A man accused of videotaping children at local pools was arrested Wednesday in Greenup County.
Police charged James Juett with trespassing and disorderly conduct.
If released on bond, Juett isn't allowed near swimming pools where children are present. Local pools in eastern Kentucky have been notified.
Workers at the Tranquilan private pool said Juett wanted to talk to a female lifeguard and let her model for gifts. Police said Juett had done similar things at several pools in the county.
He was arrested for trespassing at a pool when police found indecent video clips of pre-teen girls taken from a camcorder Juett was said to be using. Greenup County Attorney Mike Wilson said it was focused toward inappropriate areas of the girls' bodies.
Wilson is signing warning letters and posting them at local and private pools in the Greenup area, mainly as a precaution should Juett be released on bond.
Juett was being held in the Greenup County Detention Center. He'll appear in court in the next two weeks.

I love how the main topic went from perverts to tattoos and what kids are wearing now a days. How does that have anything to do with what this man did to these poor girls? Just because you have tattoos and piercings doesnt mean that you are a bad person, or nasty, or any other negative terms by any means. And as for wearing a bikini to the POOL?!? All I have to say is are you kidding me? This Guy could have approached these girls at a mall or in their own neighborhood, and they could have been fully clothed. But no, we blame the girls and their parents for sending them to the pool in bathing suits. Why don't we try putting the blame where it belongs. On that sick person who deserves it. Just because they are sick doesnt mean that they dont know right from wrong. He knew what he was doing, otherwise it wouldnt have continued. And if he is as sick as some of you say, then why wasnt anyone watching him? HE needs to be put away for what he did, and to get help for his "problems"

Ok people seriously? For one thing its not the girls fault at all and for another we do not live in the dark ages anymore. You go to the pool to swim, and you wear a swim suit. As long as they are not wearing a thong or see thru bikinis who cares. This is what is wrong with this country, people want to judge you right off the bat. If you all are "christians" then you should know not to judge people. We were all teenagers at one point trying to attract the opposite sex. Plus my sister was one of the lifeguards at a area pool that he would not leave alone and kept following her everywhere. Guess what she wasnt wearing a bikini she was wearing her uniform which is a one peice swim suit. So for this guy it did NOT matter what the girls had on, HE IS JUST A SICK FREAK.
