A former Columbia Walmart employee who was arrested last month on several counts of Video Voyeurism has now been charged with Promoting a Minor in a Sex Performance. The arrest was made this afternoon (Wednesday) at the Adair Co. Jail.
46 year old Billy Huddleston was arrested on July 21, 2018 and charged with 5 felony counts of Video Voyeurism after police say he used a cellphone to film a 16-year-old male and four others (who appear to be teenagers) in the men’s restroom at Walmart in Columbia.
A 16-year-old male reportedly saw a cellphone being held over his head on the side of a bathroom stall on July 21st and his parents contacted Walmart officials and law enforcement. Columbia police responded and Huddleston gave police consent to search his cell phone. That's when officers discovered at least 5 males had been filmed in the men’s restroom at Walmart, all appearing to be teenagers.
Huddleston was additionally charged this afternoon (Wednesday, Aug. 1st) with Promoting a Minor under the age of 16 in a Sex Performance. He remains lodged in the Adair Co. Jail.
CPD Officer Charles Greer and Sgt. Gary Roy are continuing the investigation.
