A 62-year-old Utah man — already serving prison time in a kidnapping case — has been convicted by a jury of possessing methamphetamine and taking photos and video of a naked, unconscious woman who was staying with him.

But during a two-day trial this week in 3rd District Court, jurors acquitted Vratislav Roger Bilek of sexually abusing his female house guest.

Bilek faces up to 15 years in prison on the second-degree felony drug possession conviction when he is sentenced Nov. 15 by Judge L. Douglas Hogan.

The jury also found Bilek guilty of two class A misdemeanor counts of voyeurism convictions and one count of class B misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

He is already serving a 1-to-15-year prison term for violating his probation in a case in which he held a woman captive in 2014.

In the current case, Adult Probation & Parole officers in February made an unannounced visit to Bilek's Taylorsville motel room and found a 21-year-old woman sitting on his bed. The officers also found methamphetamine on a silver tray and syringes, according to charging documents.

The woman said Bilek had bailed her out of jail on Jan. 30 at a cost of $360, but claimed there had been no sexual activity between them,.

But when the officers looked at Bilek's phone, they found 180 pictures and eight videos of the woman in which she is unconscious, charges state.

A series of photos show the woman naked in the bathroom. And in another series of photos, a naked Bilek is seen in sexual poses with the naked, unconscious woman, charges state.

As a result of the AP&P visit, Bilek was charged with second-degree felony counts of forcible sexual abuse and drug possession, as well as misdemeanor counts of voyeurism and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Bilek had been on probation since December 2015, when he resolved two 2014 cases with a plea deal.

He was charged with beating, raping and trying to drown a woman who was renting a room from him, as well as kidnapping and attacking another woman at his home. He resolved both cases by pleading no contest to a single count of second-degree felony kidnapping.

Prosecutors have said that their inability to locate the two alleged victims ahead of the Jan. 4 trial date was a factor in the lenient resolution of the cases.

Judge Bruce Lubeck in December suspended a potential one-to-15-year prison term, and instead placed Bilek — who had been in jail since September 2014 — on probation for five years. Probation conditions included that Bilek have no "female overnight stays" without approval by probation officers.

During a March hearing, Lubeck found Bilek had "willfully and knowingly violated his probation" by allowing the 21-year-old woman to stay with him at the motel room.

The 2014 cases both involved women whom Bilek had invited to stay at his Sandy home.

On Aug. 9, 2014, one of the women — naked, bleeding from her nose, and covered with small cuts and bruises — turned up at a home near 600 East and 10800 South in Sandy claiming she had been held hostage at the home next door for two days, according to charging documents.

The woman told police that Bilek had provided her methamphetamine, but then began to attack her — choking her on three occasions, and punching and kicking her in the face and body, according to charges. The woman said that as a "shock factor," Bilek showed her a black handgun.

Bilek kept the woman in his basement for seven to nine hours, but then allowed her to go upstairs by herself for a drink of water, according to charges. Despite being naked, she unlocked the front door and fled, according to charges.

In the case of the second alleged victim, a woman showed up on the porch of a home near Bilek's at about 2 a.m. on Sept. 1, 2014, calling for help.

The woman, who had numerous visible injuries on her body, told police she had been kidnapped and physically and sexually attacked by a man who had offered to rent her a room.

Bilek punched her in the face and began to choke her, according to charges, then allegedly forced her face into a filled bathtub.

Bilek later showed her a gun and raped her with multiple objects, including the handle of a sledgehammer, according to charges.

The woman ultimately escaped through a back door.
