Huntsville man charged with 10 counts of first-degree voyeurism

Daren William Mount, 59, faces 10 counts of first-degree voyeurism following an arrest by the Huntsville Police Department on Monday. Mount is listed on the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Sex Offender Registry.

The investigation began after an employee at a local business reported seeing concerning images while helping Mount transfer digital files. The HPD Special Task Force Rescuing and Investigating Kid Exploitation team opened a case based on that report.

Investigators recovered pictures and videos of children, including images taken at angles showing intimate body parts. Some recordings appeared to be captured in public places, and investigators noted that certain images had been manipulated.

Mount has a federal history with the law. In 2013, he pleaded guilty to receipt of child pornography for viewing material on a laptop between 2003 and 2010. He received a sentence of 84 months in prison and 240 months of supervised release.

Since his release in 2019, Mount has returned to prison twice for violating release terms. A federal judge later ordered him to remain under supervised release for life. Police seized electronic devices during Monday's arrest and are having forensic specialists examine them.

Police stated that Mount could face additional charges as the review of the seized devices continues.
