Ontario biz secretly filmed employees in bathroom

ONTARIO, Calif. (KABC) -- Forty women have filed a lawsuit claiming that management of an Ontario business secretly videotaped them while using the bathroom.

Fredy Geovanny Lainfiesty was arrested and faces ten counts of disorderly conduct, but the women say he wasn't the only one responsible.

They claim the video was downloaded to a number of computers at Mentor Media and that managers were aware of it.

"Management were involved in this in the sense that they made reference to who looked best, what kind of undercloathing they were wearing," attorney Fernando Bernheim said.

A USB camera recorder with motion sensors was hidden underneath a sink in one of the company's co-ed bathrooms. It was allegedly disguised and held with black electrical wiring tape around the tubing of the sink.

The bathrooms do not contain a stall partition and the women say it was positioned at an angle to record them when they undressed.

One of the women filing the lawsuit said there are cameras everywhere in the warehouse. The bathroom is the only private place, and she never thought something like this would happen.

"Who would do this? Who would put a camera in the bathroom to peak at us?" said the woman, who did not want to be named. "I was really mad."

The Ontario Police Department confiscated the USB camera.

Mentor Media declined to comment on the lawsuit.
