Canada - A camp employee who claimed he was only trying to scare a female co-worker when he hid a video camera in her shower stall will be sentenced in January.
The 19-year-old Fergus-area man pleaded guilty yesterday to voyeurism and breaching an undertaking by contacting the victim. The man cannot be named to protect the identity of his 17-year-old victim.
Court heard OPP were called to a camp in Wellington County Aug. 5 where a female employee reported being videotaped in the shower.
Police learned the girl was showering when she discovered the video camera on a shelf, hidden among some toiletries but pointed directly into the stall.
Officers discovered three videos on the camera. The first two depicted the suspect aiming the camera to ensure it was aimed correctly, while the third showed the victim nude in the shower.
The suspect was arrested for voyeurism and released by police on an undertaking, including a condition that he not contact the victim.
Nine hours later, he sent the victim a message through the Facebook networking website.
In that message, he wrote that the camera was there as "a prank" and said his intention was to scare someone and get their reaction on video. (more)
