An Arizona pastor has been indicted after allegedly using a secret camera to record women in the bathroom of his church .
Arturo Laguna, a faith leader at the Casa de Adoracion – in Phoenix – was taken into custody on November 6. He was accused of installing the recording device in the bathroom in October. A grand jury indicted him on the charges this month and he is scheduled to return to court this week.
According to a police report, obtained by Fox 10 , the camera was found by a woman after it fell out of a dryer in the bathroom where she was changing her baby’s diaper.
Detectives later obtained a screenshot showing Laguna fixing the camera in the bathroom. He later admitted to installing the device in October.
During a search of the camera’s SD card, officers found four short videos of adult females using the bathroom, Fox 10 reported.
Laguna has been charged with multiple counts of voyeurism, a felony in Arizona.
The charges stem from invading someone’s privacy by recording or photographing without their permission for sexual stimulation. Sentences can stretch up to a couple of years in prison.
