A former California prosecutor accused of secretly videotaping patrons at a tanning salon has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors.

The lawyer, David Taylor Kaye of San Marcos, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of peeking through a private area and secretly filming another individual, report the North County Times, 10News.com and NBC San Diego. Kaye is a former deputy district attorney in Tulare County.

Kaye will be sentenced Aug. 11. He is expected to receive a sentence of probation with requirements that he stay away from tanning salons and attend sex offender treatment, the stories say.

Escondido police investigated after receiving a complaint about a man reaching over a tanning booth and taking photos of women who were undressing. Police say they conducted a sting and observed Kaye videotaping a woman.
