Lomax was charged in 2020 after authorities said he set up two hidden cameras in the bedroom of his domestic partner's son to record him and others having sex.

The victim came forward to police Jan. 22 and presented them with three cameras and two camera cards. The victim discovered two cameras in his bedroom, one hidden by a baseball mitt and one by a video came console, according to authorities.

One of the camera cards had footage of the victim and others having sex in the bedroom, the DA's office said.

Authorities said the cameras were hidden there in November 2019.

Authorities said the victim's uncle was in possession of one of the two camera cards in question, and the victim asked his uncle to review the card's footage after discovering the cameras.

The uncle told the victim there was footage of him having sex and also that Lomax was seen on video setting up the camera, according to the DA's office.

County law enforcement got a search warrant for Lomax's home and found more footage of the victim and others, authorities said.

The DA's office said there are nine victims in total, three of which are still under 18 years old.

The cameras found by the victim were placed in the room in November 2019.

However, authorities said they found similar video footage dating as far back as 2015.

Prosecutors said Lomax made the videos for himself, not for sharing.

The victim's mother, Lomax's domestic partner, did not know about the cameras, the DA's office said.
