OH - A motion seeking judgment was filed Friday in a case in which several people are suing a deceased Gibsonburg landlord who was accused of secretly videotaping hundreds of people before he was discovered in 2002.
Samuel Bolotin, a Toledo attorney representing several of the plaintiffs in the case, said the motion is essentially asking the court to rule that James Rogers' estate is liable in the case. Rogers, a double amputee from the knees down, shot himself in the head with a handgun when police searched his apartment in early 2002.
The motion also shows that throughout the investigation, Gibsonburg police confiscated 237 video tapes and 83 pieces of electronic surveillance equipment.
In all, as many as 400 people may have been secretly videotaped during their time in those buildings, while a handful of victims are acting as representatives. (more)
