Ex-CNBC director Daniel Switzen, 45, was sentenced to five years of sex offender probation on Tuesday

The former CNBC television director who confessed to planting a secret bathroom camera to spy on his nanny has dodged jail time and has been sentenced to five years of probation instead.

Daniel Switzen, 45, was sentenced to probation in his Pleasantville, New York home for his spying stint and will have to register as a sex offender, Westchester County Court Judge Susan Cacace announced Tuesday.

He pleaded guilty in May to unlawful surveillance, confessing to hiding a tiny camera in a tissue box and placing it in the bathroom of his 18-year-old live-in au pair to film her and her friends getting undressed on November 13, 2017.

The father-of-two placed the secret camera in the bathroom in his home  that his nine-year-old son and seven-year-old daughter and ‘multiple’ nannies had access to.

The nanny later discovered the camera and turned it into the local police department.

Officers discovered a series of incriminating images on the memory card.  

It’s not clear how long the camera was stashed in the bathroom for.  

His sex offender registration hearing is scheduled for November 13. 

Switzen directed The Suze Orman Show on CNBC for more than a decade but his career was halted following his arrest in November 2017.
