Larry Wayne Mayfield Jr., on probation for state jail offenses of invasive visual recordings from Jan. 31, 2022, pleaded true to two new cases of invasive visual recording in 2023 during a hearing before Jefferson County 252nd District Court Judge Raquel West on Dec. 12.
“Obviously… there is an impulse control that Mr. Mayfield has,” Mayfield’s attorney Brittany Holmes said, adding that her client sought counseling and was a model probationer for approximately a year and a half – until he again obtained a cell phone. “He made the terrible decision to record these women and invade their privacy once again.”
“Looking at this criminal history, it is not pretty,” Holmes relented, still urging the court for help for her client. “If there is any alternatives to help Mr. Mayfield besides sending him to prison, we are asking the court for that.”
Prosecutor Phillip Smith reminded the court that Mayfield had been on probation for the same crime in 2016.
“He is going to continue to do this. Cell phones are too easy to get,” Smith said. “We don’t know there aren’t any other victims. He doesn’t seem to have any remorse for that; he just doesn’t like to get caught.”
West revoked Mayfield’s probation and remanded the defendant to state jail for two years in each of the 2022 cases. The 2023 charges are still pending.
“I wish I could stack these,” West said, adding that she is of the opinion a longer jail stay is warranted, but not allowed under the Texas criminal statute governing invasive visual recording offenses.
