Security Company Owner Gets Up to 26.5 Years in Prison for Stalking

CLEVELAND — Security company owner Robert Hocevar, who was found guilty of stalking seven women after installing their security systems, was sentenced to 22.5 to 26.5 years in prison last week in Cuyahoga County Court, according to a WVVA report.

Hocevar also has to register as a Level 1 sex offender, the report says.

Between February 2021 and January 2025, Hocevar installed systems at three businesses and two residences in Lakewood, Brecksville, Lyndhurst, Westlake and Mayfield Heights, said Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley in the report.

After installing the systems, Hocevar would access the systems without consent and send the female victims unwanted sexually explicit messages, photos and videos, said O’Malley, according to the WVVA report.

Hocevar also left sexually explicit objects at three of the women’s places of employment, the report says. The seven women range in age from 46 to 56, O’Malley says in the report.

Why Robert Hocevar Went to Prison for Stalking

“This sexual deviant used his profession to stalk and harass women,” O’Malley said in March, according to the report, in reference to Hocevar. “He has previously been convicted three times for the same behavior, and he clearly remains a danger to our community.”

In June, Hocevar, 57, pleaded guilty to the following charges:

  • Three counts of burglary.
  • Three counts of unauthorized use of computer, cable or telecommunications property.
  • Three counts of menacing by stalking–one count with sexual specifications.
  • Three counts of telecommunications harassment.
  • One count of possessing criminal tools.

“Just when you think you’ve heard it all, along comes Robert Hocevar,“ said O’Malley said, according to the WVVA report. “Clearly, he has not learned from his previous stays in prison. Hopefully, his next prison sentence will teach him a lesson.”

The Regulatory Landscape for Clinical CCTV in 2026 As we move through 2026, medical and dental practices across the UK face unprecedented scrutiny regarding patient privacy and physical security. Clinical environments require a delicate balance: maintaining absolute patient confidentiality while ensuring robust protection against theft, vandalism, and false liability claims. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has updated its strict codes of practice to reflect advances in AI-driven edge surveillance.

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
