An Orem photographer accused of taking nude pictures of a teenage girl in his studio was sentenced to jail time Monday.

Raymond Matthew Stone was sentenced to 240 days in the Utah County Jail, with the possibility of release on a GPS monitor after 60 days.

Stone was arrested along with Bobette Wimmer in November 2006 after allegedly taking nude photos of a teenage girl and forcing her to pose for them. According to a probable cause statement, Stone and Wimmer were with the girl and her 18-year-old friend at Stone’s business, Studioworks.

Stone pleaded guilty to two second-degree felony counts of child abuse as part of a plea agreement in December.

Stone’s attorney, Randall Spencer, asked that his client not spend any time in jail, saying Stone needs to work in order to support his ex-wife and five children. Even 60 days in jail would significantly impact Stone’s ability to make a living, he said. Spencer said Stone is remorseful for what he has done, and he has no prior convictions.

“While he is a photographer, he’s never taken pictures like this before,” Spencer said.

Prosecutor Doug Finch, however, said jail time would be appropriate, and it would not be as adverse for Stone’s profession as it has been for Wimmer. Wimmer received similar jail time and remains unemployed as a result, he said. Finch said Wimmer held a higher burden of responsibility in the case, but Stone should also bear some responsibility as he was the instigator.

Judge Samuel McVey gave Stone more time on GPS monitoring than Wimmer received because there was a degree of force involved in the crime, he said. The force was not extensive, and Stone may also have been told the girl was 18, but McVey said mistaken ages are a risk offenders take. McVey also ordered that Stone stay away from any pornography, though psychosexual evaluations found that Stone is within normal ranges. McVey said Stone showed a history of pornography use, and ordered that his electronic devices be subject to search at any time during his probation.

“Pornography does have an impact, as the court has experienced, on people’s behavior,” McVey said.
