Prosecutors allege 59-year-old Kevin Pearsall placed a hidden camera in the men's locker room at the Bolsa Chica headquarters during the summer of 2024. At least 23 victims have been identified in the case.
"California State Parks takes these charges very seriously and has fully cooperated with law enforcement through every step of the investigation," read a statement from the agency. "Upon being alerted to these serious criminal allegations, State Parks immediately contacted the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and requested an investigation."
Pearsall had worked for the department since 1994, but retired shortly after the California Highway Patrol served search warrants related to the investigation.
Authorities said Pearsall turned himself in Tuesday and is scheduled to appear in court in August.
If convicted, Pearsall could face nearly 19 years in jail.
