CLEARFIELD — A man who police say was caught using his phone to record in a locker room on the Utah State University campus in October is also facing charges of filming young boys in a bathroom almost a year earlier.

Ian Mark Bradley, 31, of Nibley, was caught on Oct. 8 placing a phone between a wall and a door to a shower stall in a locker room on the USU campus, according to charging documents.

He fled before police arrived, but returned to the locker room later, a police booking affidavit says. Staff members alerted officers, and Bradley tried to walk around the police, going back into the bathroom to find another exit before a police officer grabbed his arm, according to the affidavit.

“Ian tensed his arm and began to try to turn around,” wrote the arresting officer. “I again told him to put his hands behind his back, he again did not comply and tensed up. Ian was moved to the ground and placed into cuffs.”

Bradley refused to provide his name to police, the affidavit says, and police found a urinal puck in his possession “similar to the pads used in the locker room.” The man was arrested on Oct. 8 and charges were filed on Oct. 11 for voyeurism, a class A misdemeanor, theft and failure to disclose identity, both class B misdemeanors.

Felony charges were filed in 2nd District Court on Nov. 1, for an incident that police say happened in November 2023.

Officers in Clearfield were dispatched to the Clearfield Aquatic Center where witnesses say Bradley was “in the men’s locker room taking photos and videos near the urinal area,” according to charging documents, “angling a camera toward a boy using the urinal.”

Two victims, both boys under the age of 14, were identified as being recorded while using the urinal, charges say. Bradley’s phone was seized, and investigators say they found 21 videos and 39 photos taken in the locker room, showing “both adult males and juvenile males in various states of undress,” according to court documents.

More photos and videos were found on Bradley’s phone “of the same nature from restrooms at other locations,” charges allege — recordings from bathroom stalls, with the camera “focused through cracks of the stall and from underneath,” as Bradley “records individuals pulling their pants down and using the bathroom.”

Bradley was charged with two counts of voyeurism against a child under 14, a third-degree felony; and ten counts of voyeurism, a class A misdemeanor. It remains unclear why the case in Clearfield was filed a year later.

An initial appearance in 1st District Court for Bradley’s misdemeanor case is scheduled for Dec. 9.
