Police Find 'Graphic' Videos Of Hooters Applicants

Women Allegedly Videotaped Without Their Knowledge

Mar 25, 2004 12:18 pm US/Pacific

WEST COVINA (CBS) Detectives in West Covina found 180 "graphic" videos of nude and partly nude women on the computer of a former Hooters restaurant manager, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune reported Thursday.

The women allegedly were taped without their knowledge while changing into Hooters uniforms as part of job interviews for a Hooters opening in West Covina in April, the city’s police chief said in remarks reported in the Tribune.

Chief Frank Wills said police will turn over the case to the county District Attorney on Friday or early next week, the Tribune reported.

Detectives are looking for about 80 women seen on the videos, according to the newspaper. Ten other women filed police reports in January and February.

"These are very graphic videos," the Tribune quoted Wills as saying. "These young women were violated and callously manipulated."

The women, ages 17 to 25, were allegedly taped without their knowledge from November to February in a trailer on the Hooters construction site on Garvey Avenue, the Tribune reported.

The 32-year-old Arcadia resident who is the subject of the investigation has not been arrested or charged and says he did nothing wrong, according to the newspaper.

Hooters is not being criminally investigated and is fully cooperating with police, Wills said.

Wow will they ever be sued!

"These are very graphic videos," the Tribune quoted Wills as saying.

I'll be the judge of that, but I need to see the evidence.

These Hooters Girls must be absolutely disgusted that a man would be interested in them only insofar as he could ogle their bodies. Imagine the shattered innocence.

I obviously work in a much more lax environment...

No info on how they caught him. Best guesses: An applicant spotted the camera; He showed the tapes to 12 of his closest friends at a beer party.

If they aren't now, they will be after a lawyer tells them how much money they could get in a lawsuit.

Nice wings!!!

Maybe I'm naive, but wouldn't the best thing be to fine the perps, burn the pictures, confiscate the cameras, and get on with life? Any young woman who tries for a job at Hooters has got to know what she is getting into.

School board: No credit for Hooters work

SAVANNAH, Georgia (AP) --A 17-year-old high school senior working at a Hooters won't get class credit for her job because the restaurant, known for its waitresses in tight T-shirts and hot pants, is too racy, school district officials decided Thursday.

Laura Williams wanted her hostess job, for which she wears long pants and a collared shirt, to count as part of a work-study program that lets students leave school early so they can work for vocational course credit.

Williams plans to keep the job and give up the credit.

She and her father had asked the school board to overrule the school superintendent's decision that Hooters is an inappropriate workplace for the Effingham County High School program.

All five members of the county school board voted down the restaurant.

"I know we live in a world of Britney Spears, but I don't see us giving school credit in that atmosphere," said school board member Vera Jones.

"It doesn't matter what decision they make," Williams said Thursday. "I plan on staying there. It's just a fun place to work."

Williams' father, Larry Williams, said he's considering a lawsuit against the school system.

Aaron Sharp, manager of the Savannah Hooters, has said the school superintendent overreacted. He said his restaurant strives for a family atmosphere that includes balloons for children and a kids' menu.

Vocational education programs at the high school allow students to leave the campus early each day to work at retail, administrative, service and other jobs. Students earn credits for the courses based on their supervisors' evaluations of their work ethic and performance.

Hooters' food is vastly overrated, IMO. No wonder they have to hire the babes.

[GreenLanternCorps]

They serve food?

That brunette on the left may be docked for being "out" of uniform.
