Joseph Munafo, 61, was sentenced by Judge Roger McDonough after pleading guilty to two counts of second-degree unlawful surveillance.
The victim, a coworker of 20 years, reported Munafo to Colonie Police on Oct. 24, 2023, after observing him recording her underneath her clothing. An investigation found Munafo had taken more than 1,000 photos and videos of the woman between 2022 and October 2023.
