A Norristown man who secretly recorded seven women changing inside his unlicensed dance studio was sentenced to 26 1/2 to 53 years in state prison by a Montgomery County Court judge who admonished him for taking advantage of women who trusted him.

Francis “Frankie G” Laurenzi, 39, was convicted in May of invasion of privacy and possessing an instrument of a crime for using a camera disguised as a smartphone charger to record the women during visits to his studio in 2022.
