Roger Springfield, former media director at Syracuse University, was sentenced Thursday to five years probation for filming more than 100 athletes in locker rooms, the Syracuse Post-Standard reported.

Judge Thomas Miller called Springfield's behavior "strange, bizarre and colossally stupid."

Miller added that Springfield, whose real last name is Cahak, ruined his reputation after "more than half a century as a law-abiding, productive member of society" and that he shamed his family as well.

"I'm sure they are and will remain mortified by this," Miller said in court.

Springfield pleaded guilty in late March to unlawful surveillance in the second-degree. He admitted to four counts and was indicted on all four, but only pled guilty to the top count.

Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Cali said Springfield kept video recordings of 108 identifiable victims hidden on his computer. He said it was obvious why the content of the videos were kept hidden because all the footage was shot with the camera at waist level and the red recording indicator light was covered.

Springfield was not required to register as a sex offender, as opposed to Cali's request, mainly because the videos were not distributed.

"None of this was distributed in any way," said Miller, who received e-mails from 18 victims concerned about the tapes finding their way onto the Internet. "Be thankful it never found its way to the Internet or today would be extremely different for you."

Defense attorney Jim McGraw presented a psychiatric evaluation that stated the tapes were not recorded out of sexual desire. The details of the evaluation were not disclosed.

The initial plea deal was for ten years of probation, but both attorneys agreed that was a mistake and the sentence was reduced to five years.

"(Springfield's) a convicted felon now," Cali said. "He's been held accountable. He admitted to his behavior, lost his job, his reputation - and given his conduct, he deserved that."
