NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Nashville Banner) — This story was originally published by the Nashville Banner. Sign up for their newsletter.
Matthew Vollmer, the Nashville man who illegally recorded several women during sex using his alarm clock, pleaded guilty Thursday to four of the eight charges he faced for taking thousands of still images and videos of partners without consent.
Vollmer faces a year of probation and will have a hearing to seek judicial diversion, which has not yet been scheduled.
While Vollmer had at least a dozen victims, only four were able to press charges because of the statute of limitations at the time of the crimes.
The group of women, who found each other when police didn’t identify Vollmer’s victims, worked to pass a law in 2025, which will make it easier for victims to press charges in unlawful recording cases and strengthen legal penalties.
