TACOMA, Wash. – Steven Powell has been found guilty of possessing child pornography.

Powell, whose daughter-in-law Susan Powell went missing in Utah six years ago, was on trial for possessing explicit images of two neighbor girls. The 64-year-old's trial began last week and jurors returned a unanimous verdict Monday afternoon.

Powell was convicted in 2012 on 14 counts of voyeurism for shooting video and still pictures of the girls, ages 8 and 10, from a window as they used a family bathroom. A judge threw out the child porn charges before the voyeurism trial, but they were reinstated by an appeals court.
