Repairman Accused of Sending Himself Woman’s Explicit Video After Using Her Phone to ‘Test the Wi-Fi’

A California Internet service provider worker was arrested for allegedly tricking a customer into handing over her phone before sending himself her explicit video.

The Irvine Police Department announced in a Tuesday, September 15, press release that Logan Edward Gray-McCannon was arrested and charged with commercial burglary, sharing a private image of a person without consent and unauthorized computer access.

Gray-McCannon, 37, works as a contractor with ITC Service Group Acquisition, which installs GFiber (formerly Google Fiber) internet in people’s homes. He was servicing a woman’s home in early August when he allegedly asked her to use her cell phone to “test the Wi-Fi” signal throughout the home. After about 10 to 15 minutes, the woman checked on him but said she could not see what he was doing on her phone. However, she simply assumed it was a routine installation test.

In actuality, Gray-McCannon was allegedly going through her text messages and discovered a private, intimate video she’d taken and sent to her partner. He then allegedly sent it to himself and deleted the message from her phone. Weeks later, however, the woman discovered what had happened when she checked her iPad, which was linked to her phone.

The woman traced the phone number that received the video to Gray-McCannon and contacted the police on September 9. On the afternoon of September 11, he was taken into custody and charged.

However, police fear that the woman is not the first to fall victim to Gray-McCannon’s alleged ruse and are asking anyone in the community who thinks this may have happened to them to come forward.

“Our phones all hold important and sensitive information. Anyone that asks to see your phone or use it, you should be watching it carefully, or not allow them to,” IPD Public Information Officer Kyle Oldorp told People. “Just be mindful of your privacy. Certainly, if somebody wants to take it into another room or away from you, that should raise suspicion.”
