He was arrested later that December. DeSena was released from jail on $5,000 bond. <\/p>\n<p>An indictment alleges he secretly planted the cameras for sexual gratification, listing the same victim under both charges. A grand jury later concluded the state has enough evidence to move forward with a potential trial.<\/p>\n<p>Tax records show DeSena does not own the Corolla rental home listed in court documents. He lives in Raleigh. That beach rental home is within walking distance of the ocean, has six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a half bath.<\/p>\n<p>At his court hearing on Monday, DeSena and his counsel told the judge he wants to plead guilty. Both the prosecution and defense attorneys quietly spoke with the judge for about five minutes. The judge did not take his guilty plea, instead moving this matter to a plea conference on July 27th.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=4568\">\u2018Good to have the GOAT back\u2019: Serena Williams to make singles return on Day 2 at Wimbledon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>10 On Your Side tried speaking with DeSena after the hearing.
