Jordan worked at Direct Computing Solutions in Gallipolis, which is in Gallia County, when the crimes took place.
Investigators determined that he took possession of customers' phones and downloaded private photos without their knowledge. This allegedly happened between December 2021 and April 2022.
More than 40 customers were victimized, including minors ranging in age from 14 to 17.
“Violating your customers’ privacy isn’t just creepy – it’s illegal, especially when some of your clients are minors,” Attorney General Dave Yost said.
Jordan will be sentenced on March 31. He will be required to register as a Tier II sex offender.
