Cops: Man Hid Camera In Starbucks Bathroom, Filmed 45 Women And Children
The Smoking Gun ^ | 5/18/11

Posted on 05/18/2011 12:51:35 PM PDT by markomalley

A California man placed a hidden camera inside a Starbucks bathroom and filmed dozens of unsuspecting women and children, according to police. The camera was disguised as a coat hook and affixed to a wall adjacent to a toilet for two days last month.

William Zafra Velasco, 25, was arrested earlier this month by Glendora Police Department officers, who executed search warrants at the San Dimas home of the unemployed student. Detectives examining Velasco’s computers discovered “disturbing video of at least 45 female victims using the restroom, including children,” according to investigators.

Velasco, pictured in the above mug shot, was charged with secretly videotaping 45 victims for sexual gratification. Free on $50,000 bail, he is scheduled for a June 21 Superior Court appearance. Cops do not believe that the bathroom videos were uploaded to the Internet or distributed in any other fashion. In addition to video, the surveillance device was equipped to record sound.

Saw this on my local news last night.

The guy put a plastic coat-hanger hook with a video camera inside of it on the back of the restroom door...

From the article (with photos):

"Evidence photos (here and here) show the hook on a wall next to a sink."

Obviously this is morally wrong. But it is also mucho gross on every level. People going to the bathroom—yuk! Average customer of Starbucks? Yuk, too.

Now the shower room of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders? That would be using your imagination and good taste.

He removed the hook every hour to download the video? Every hour? Good grief. No wonder he was found out. Good thing too.
