Man secretly filmed women during sex after meeting on dating apps, AZ cops say
Julian Nixon, 43, was arrested July 30 in Scottsdale on dozens of charges, police said in a probable cause statement.
His ex-girlfriend prompted the investigation after police said she found three Apple iPhone boxes spread around in his room on March 16.
She told authorities she looked inside two of the boxes, which had been cut out so a phone camera was visible, police said.
One phone box faced the headboard, the second container was positioned on a table across from the bed, and the third box was 'at the end of the bed's dresser,' police said.
Detectives got a warrant and searched his apartment May 7.
At the time, Nixon told police he had filmed sex acts with women he met from dating apps, authorities said in the documents. He said he did this to 'protect himself' in the event a woman claimed he abused or raped her, police said.
Investigators said they found 110 videos of victims dating back to 2016.
Nixon kept these videos in an album in his personal phone, police said.
Four women identified in the videos told authorities they did not allow Nixon to record them, police said. They told authorities they met him on dating apps and from singles events.
Police said there were other women in the videos who were not identified.
Nixon was arrested on 24 counts of voyeurism and unlawful viewing, taping and recording. His bail was set at $75,000.

The Brief Scottsdale Police have announced the arrest of Julian Nixon. Nixon is accused of unlawful recording and voyeurism. The suspect is accused of secretly recording women during sex. EDITOR'S NOTE: Scottsdale Police initially said their Special Victims Unit found "over 400 videos related to [Julian Nixon] having sexual relations with several females," but a later statement corrected the number to over 100. The original article, with the correction, continues below. SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Scottsdale Police say they have made an arrest in a case that involved allegations of women being secretly recorded during intimate moments.

Investigators note that Nixon's ex-girlfriend, while giving a description of the boxes and where they were located in the bedroom, was not able to look into the phones to discover the contents inside. "After seeing the phone, she confronted Julian via text message, who admitted to secretly recording them having sex," read a portion of a statement released by Scottsdale Police. "He stated he records just in case a female attempts to say she was sexually assaulted, or something was done without her consent. [Nixon] insisted the recordings were deleted." On May 7, court documents state that detectives executed a search warrant for Nixon's electronics at his apartment. "During that contact with the suspect, post-Miranda Rights, the suspect admitted to surreptitiously recording an unknown number of women he met on dating application platforms while he completed sexual acts with him," investigators wrote. "Per the suspect, his reason for the recordings was to protect himself if the women claimed any abuse, such as rape." Officials said Nixon did not wish to show detectives the devices and the videos at first, saying he will "get rid of them." "When he was advised that it was a crime to record those women unlawfully and have possession of them, the suspect [admitted] knowing what he did was wrong," court documents state.
