An Oklahoma woman was awarded $15 million in a rare lawsuit against a peeping Tom who secretly recorded video of her nude.

Kathryn Wainscott sued Daniel Briggs Toy and won. Toy was a friend of her and her husband's and had been best man at their wedding. It turned out that when the couple visited Toy he secretly took the images of Wainscott, KRMG reported.

Wainscott was not the only woman to be victimized by Toy. In 2022 he was arrested for secretly recording and photographing more than three dozen women in department store changing rooms, Fox 23 reported.

Toy came to the attention of authorities in May 2022 when a woman caught him filming her in a Target dressing room. She confronted Toy and an altercation began. During the commotion, other customers say Toy frantically deleting images and videos, the station reported.

Target security intervened, and Toy fled the store, but people were able to get his license plate number, according to Fox. Then, in June, officers searched Toy's home, uncovering evidence of other peeping Tom activities.

In 2023, Toy was sentenced to 10 years in prison, the station reported.

Despite the jail sentence, Wainscott still pursued her civil action. KRMG reported that Wainscott is also working with state legislators to pass a law that would force peeping Toms like Toy to register as sex offenders.
