Alpine doctor who fondled and videotaped employees gets one year in jail

PROVO — An Alpine doctor was sentenced to a year in jail for videotaping and fondling four female employees.

Steven Pack, 51, was ordered to spend 364 days in jail, followed by 364 days of GPS monitoring and 48 months of supervised probation.

"This has affected my life in more ways than I could imagine," one of Pack's victims who had been fondled said Monday. "It was all I could think about, how someone that I trusted and saw as an authority figure did this to me."

The woman said she used to be an outgoing person, but is now reserved and always feels embarrassed about the secret she hides.

Another victim, who was changing her clothes in an exam room at Pack's Lehi office when she discovered a camera filming her, told 4th District Judge Samuel McVey that she has had anxiety attacks and nightmares ever since.

"He completely violated everything," she said tearfully. "I had so much trust for him, and he just completely threw that out the window."

When she discovered the video camera, the woman said she "knew exactly what his intentions were."

"It makes me sick," she said.

Pack pleaded no contest to two counts of sexual battery and two counts of voyeurism by electronic equipment, all class A misdemeanors, as part of a plea bargain. In exchange for his plea, two counts of forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony, and a misdemeanor obstructing justice charge were dismissed.

The charges were filed last year when two female employees, ages 18 and 19, told police they had been videotaped while changing in an exam room at Mountain Medical Urgent Care in Lehi. Officers found a video camera, other equipment and a hard drive with images of the women in Pack's possession. Prosecutors said the images showed the women topless.

The sexual battery charges come from two other female employees who told police Pack fondled them under their clothing under the guise of demonstrating medical tests.

"We have not heard so much as a 'sorry' from Dr. Pack to any one of these victims," one of the victim's mothers told the judge Monday.

Pack said he understands "that these victims feel that I have harmed them, and I accept that." He said he has worked hard to resolve the issue with attorneys and police for the benefit of the victims and their family.
