Andrew R. Persen of Appleton was charged Monday with 10 counts of capturing an intimate representation without consent, five counts of invading privacy with a surveillance device and a single charge of posting a sexually explicit image without consent...

Besides Target, locations included his own bathroom and the bathroom and bedroom at a female friend's house, according to the criminal complaint...

According to the criminal complaint:
The friend told police on Oct. 11 that her friend had found a nude video of her on a pornography website and she believed Persen had posted it without her consent. The video was posted around June of this year and the website indicated it had hundreds of public views.

Typical Bathroom Spycam Enclosures — Look for the pinhole.
Police searched Persen's house on Oct. 20 and found "numerous" electronic storage devices.

He said that he had put hidden cameras in his friend's bedroom and bathroom in the spring and also in a Target dressing room. He also said he put a camera in his own shower to capture another woman.

Police found videos of the friend filmed at her home. Two detailed in the complaint clearly show him installing the cameras.

One video showed a woman using his shower.

Investigators also found 66 video files that appeared to show the inside of a changing room at Target. If the date and time display is correct, it appears the videos were recorded between 3:20 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. on April 6.

One video appears to show him setting up the camera in the changing room at 3:18 p.m. with his face clearly visible. more

Unfortunately, this type of story appears in the news several times per week. And... these are the failures; this is the tip of all video voyeur activity.

You should really learn how to detect spycams, and then teach your family and friends how to do it as well. It's really simple, once you know how.
