A Polk County judge has called off the trial of a former Valley Junction business owner after he attempted to commit suicide by walking into traffic on I-235.

Robert Kuhn, 50, is accused of secretly recording underage employees as they used the restroom/changing room at his former record shop, Wayback Records. Kuhn was arrested last December and charged with Attempted Production of Child Pornography.

His trial began on Monday at the Polk County Courthouse. After testimony concluded on Tuesday, Kuhn walked into traffic on I-235 and was hit by a dump truck, according to the Des Moines Register. Kuhn was not killed but remains hospitalized.

On Wednesday Judge Jeffrey Farrell declared a mistrial after learning of the suicide attempt.

A former West Des Moines record store owner has been imprisoned for video recording girls in the bathroom of his business.

50-year-old Robert Kuhn was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Kuhn was found guilty last month of three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and three counts of invasion of privacy.

The former owner of Wayback Records was arrested in 2017 after a girl who had worked for him told police she found a video camera hidden on a shelf in the bathroom after Kuhn had asked her to try on dresses.

Investigators later found videos of other females disrobing, court records show.

Federal prosecutors also had filed a child pornography charge but later dropped it.
