Sex Offender Caught at Peninsula High School Sentenced to Prison

Adam Nicholas Randolph, 36, was sentenced to 50 months in prison and five years of supervision April 11 after pleading guilty to sneaking into a Peninsula High School girls bathroom to take cell phone photos and record videos of girls in September 2023.

A former PHS student, Randolph hid in a bathroom stall during a girls soccer game. He recorded the girls who came in to change.

He was spotted and ran off, but he had been recognized and police quickly tracked him down and found a collection of similar recordings at his Tacoma home, where he lives with his wife.

According to court documents, Randolph apologized during sentencing.

“This is not the life that I want to live. I mean that. I think I can do a lot better,” he said.

Randolph is a registered sex offender with at least four prior convictions dating from 2006 for voyeurism, third-degree sexual abuse, and recording female athletes over months in bathrooms at the University of Puget Sound. He served two years in prison after a 2017 conviction.

Peninsula School District said it notified families when the incident happened and added extra security to soccer games.

In an email to KP News, PSD Digital Media Communications Coordinator Danielle Chastaine wrote, “We worked closely with our local law enforcement during the investigation and followed their guidance regarding information sharing. Each situation is unique and requires careful planning when an open investigation is underway.”
