A Georgia man has been arrested after police say he filmed an unauthorized, behind-the-scenes video of Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant contestants disrobing at the swanky Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel.

Miami Beach police arrested Ronald Keith Rolfes Sunday night and charged him with video voyeurism.

They said evidence against the 31-year-old, who was in the models’ changing room as part of an entourage with Waterbabies Bikini, was ironclad: he recorded himself hiding his camera and admitted to the crime.

“Man to man, I did it because I’ve never had a girlfriend,” Rolfes allegedly told a male officer.

According to Rolfes’ arrest report, officers Rosa Olivo and Lisa Lobello were in the Fontainebleau responding to a different issue when one of the 101 contestants who will compete for a $50,000 first place prize during a Saturday swimsuit pageant at The Fillmore Miami Beach “frantically” ran up to them.

The model said she had discovered a hidden camera in the contestants’ changing area.

The cops are still reviewing it out for evidence.

It’s worthless without pictures. Videos would make it worth even more.

I'm afraid I'll have to see some proof of this crime...

“Man to man, I did it because I’ve never had a girlfriend,”

Well, boy to man maybe.

THis promises to be a fun thread. lol

I don’t see how not having a girlfriend is any defense or even a credible explanation for his outrageous behavior. Obviously, it’s a little pathetic, at age 31, not to have had even one girlfriend. But, I’ve had scores of girlfriends, and I still understand his motivation.
Of course, I would never engage in such horrendous activity. I mean these girls do not want to be lusted after by lascivious males.
Mostly sarcasm, duh.

[When do we get liberated?]

If he stays in his mom’s basement with these videos, he never will have a girlfriend.

[iowamark]

There is such a thing as being too honest.

[Puckster]

Basement dweller.........mommy’s house.

But, this “manly” admission is the first step to full recovery.

“Man to man, I did it because I’ve never had a girlfriend,” Rolfes allegedly told a male officer.

And, man to man, you're even less likely to ever get one now.

[dead]

I wasn’t even aware that this would be illegal.
