A former Marine has been convicted in Phoenix of filming himself having sex with minors and women who didn't know they were being recorded.

A Maricopa County Superior Court jury on Thursday found Donald Linville guilty of two counts of unlawful view/tape/record, one count of sexual conduct with a minor and 11 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

He's scheduled to be sentenced May 16.

The 25-year-old Linville was arrested in the case in 2012 and again in 2013.

Phoenix police say Linville hid a video camera on his neighbor's balcony and his computers were seized.

Detectives who analyzed them found several videos of Linville having sex with various females.

Three of the victims say they didn't know they were being recorded and one victim was 15 years old.
