The victim and her mother confronted Conway and recorded it. Police said Conway gave various excuses for making the recording, including that he “wanted to hear what they were talking about” and that he felt “left out.”
Conway said he did not have any of the videos recorded, and that the camera was just live when he wanted to look in on them.
