Prosecutors believe a former FBI agent facing Peeping Tom allegations could have recorded upwards of 80 women in sex acts without their knowledge, according to a local news report.
Mark Allan Wells of Tulsa, Oklahoma, 45, was removed from duty at the Tulsa Federal Bureau of Investigation office last May after three women, including Wells’ ex-wife, came forward accusing him of recording them without their knowledge during sex acts and distributing those videos.
A search of Wells’ laptop uncovered 55 photo albums, including about 2,245 photos and videos that appeared to be secretly recorded, with approximately 75% of them being sexual in nature, according to an affidavit reviewed by Fox 23.
Although investigators found Nest cameras, no secret cameras were located in Wells’ home, 2 News reported, and a fake smoke detector was found in his upstairs bedroom, but no camera was found inside.

She was scheduled to testify against Wells in court on Wednesday, but he waived a right to a preliminary hearing, Oklahoma 2 News reported.
“I’m glad I didn’t have to see him,” she told the outlet. “The detectives told me more women started calling in after seeing the news, and they were able to identify more of the previously unidentified women.”
“One day, I hope to get to a point where I feel irrelevance toward him, but right now, it’s disgust,” she said.
Wells’ next court hearing is scheduled for April 1, and he is currently free on bond, according to court records. His attorney could not immediately be reached for comment.
In a statement last May, the FBI wrote that Wells’ “alleged conduct will not be tolerated.”
“As soon as the allegation became known, the employee was removed from special agent duties and has been denied access to FBI facilities pending resolution of the matter,” the agency wrote. “We strongly condemn any behavior that falls short of the highest standards. We are cooperating with local law enforcement and all relevant entities who are investigating the matter.”
