A Bellevue man avoided jail Thursday, but will have to register as a sex offender for 10 years.

Matthew Conrad Anderson, 30, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted voyeurism after he was accused of taking photos up the skirts of females at a Capital High School drill and dance competition.

Both counts are gross misdemeanors.

Anderson was initially charged with two counts of felony voyeurism.

Anderson was arrested in February after several of the girls told their fathers that “a man had been taking pictures up their skirts while they were sitting on the bleachers,” according to court documents.
