SpyCam Story # 602 - Toilet Brush with Danger

PA - An Earl Township woman has filed a lawsuit in Berks County Court accusing officials at a Muhlenberg Township company of failing to prevent a former employee from sexually harassing her, including videotaping her in the restroom

Sylvia Spayd and her husband, Glenn, accuse Markus Lattner, a former vice president of operations at Reading Powder Coatings Inc., of having a romantic fixation on her and hiding a video camera disguised as a pen in the ladies room.

Kathleen Heimbach of Douglass Township has filed a separate suit accusing Lattner of hiding a video camera in the ladies room.

Both suits allege Lattner used chewing gum to attach the video camera to a toilet brush in a bathroom stall at the plant at 1100 Commonwealth Blvd. The video also showed Lattner putting the device on the brush and leaving the restroom. (Doh!) (more)
