FBI agent is accused of setting up 'revenge porn' cameras to film up to EIGHTY victims at his home - including his ex-wife and ex-fiancée

Mark Allan Wells, 45, was arrested after three women, including his ex-wife, came forward and police searched his house in Tulsa, Oklahoma, last May. Investigators discovered 2,245 photos and videos on his laptop, organized into 55 albums, about 75 per cent of which were sexually explicit. Albums were labeled with up to 80 women's names, mostly first name only, with sub-folders with labels such as 'texts', according to court documents. Police alleged they were secretly recorded without the women's consent, but didn't find any hidden cameras in their search, though they did find a fake smoke detector. Wells also allegedly sent explicit images to at least eight people, some of which showed women engaging in sexual acts. Morgan Ballou, who dated Well six six months in 2016-17 and then again for almost four years in 2018 to 2022, said he bragged about his collection. After he showed her the vast trove of his previous conquests, she contacted one of the women, his fiancée Savannah Smith, and told her about it. The two women later complained to police, kicking off the investigation, and more women contacted police after Wells was charged. Wells initially denied the collection existed in a police interview, before detectives found it on his hard drive. 'I can't imagine why I would brag to someone I was in an exclusive relationship with about having naked photos of other women,' he said, according to an affidavit. Wells' ex-wife also alleged he secretly recorded her and she 'found a hidden camera on a bookshelf in their guest bedroom'. Ballou, a car dealer and part-time model and actress, sued Wells on January 18 for $150,000 in damages. She alleged that in addition to the secret recordings, he sent explicit selfies she gave to him to at least two people. Ballou called Wells a 'master manipulator' and discovering what he did made her feel 'angry and very violated'. 'It puts myself and other victims in a very vulnerable position. I worked hard for the career that I have and the life that I have and that could have all changed in an instant,' she told Fox 23. 'One day, I hope to get to a point where I feel irrelevance toward him, but right now, it's disgust.' Wells originally faced only four charges, but more were added when he appeared in court on Wednesday, as dozens more women were identified. He now faces two felony Peeping Tom counts, and 11 misdemeanor charges for nonconsensual dissemination of sexual images, and will return to court on April 1. The FBI suspended him as soon as he was charged, pending the outcome of the case, saying such conduct 'would not be tolerated'. 'As soon as the allegation became known, the employee was removed from special agent duties and has been denied access to FBI facilities pending resolution of the matter,' it said at the time. 'We strongly condemn any behavior that falls short of the highest standards. We are cooperating with local law enforcement and all relevant entities who are investigating the matter.'

I think we can all say that we've been there ourselves. We all lead complicated lives.

He was definitely dating above his pay grade.
Damn - gives me hope for the future. All I need is one of those plastic badges in a flip out wallet. |

Guilty as charged. He should receive the maximum sentence and be thrown in GP.

Entrapment and Blackmail is simply in the blood of a jack booted FBI goon, isn't it?

While creepy, that guy, and at least 80 women? He needs to write a dating tip howto book.

Other than a small number of times instances of him sharing images with other people, how exactly did he violate the law. You can't maintain a collection of videos and images of past intimate partners? Was it a two party state for video recording?

Those women (and 78 more) and that guy?
There's got to be more. |

So, a good fake FBI badge will impress the ladies? Asking for a friend…

Was he an ordinary agent or a special agent? On that topic, is special ordinary?
Let's see if he gets promoted to the 7th floor. |

How much money did he make, all'n all? I mean why, unless money or power?

This story calls this "revenge porn", but did he circulate the images online for revenge or blackmail? Not from what i read. He showed his cache to a girlfriend. I guess to impress her? Now, before i continue playing Devil's Advocate for an FBI agent (i kind of don't believe I'm doing it), an anecdote from my memory: Years ago, i walked into a department in our plant that was 100% staffed with young black guys. They were huddled on break, oohing, laughing and carrying on. I sneak up to mess with them. I finally see why they are all entranced. Guy in the center is showing them his previous conquest. It's a white woman riding him like a cowgirl...video on a camcorder screen. I ask him if she knew she was being filmed. He said no, then he admitted he secretly records all of his booty calls. "Wouldn't they get pissed?" "I don't care. This is my stay out of prison insurance." He then explained that one of his brothers was currently in prison on a rape conviction. He said one of his brother's side pieces, a married white girl, accused him of rape after her belly was swole up with a half chocolate baby. He said it's harder to prosecute for rape if he had video of the accuser enjoying herself in a dominant position. Maybe this guy was doing the same? You know damn well what they'd do to an FBI dude in prison. Especially if he'd had at least 80. I know, FFBI, but the guy must be a cat daddy. I'll give him that. |

Somebody as messed up as that shouldn't pass a screening to get in the FBI, or to keep a clearance.
