A Veteran Affairs employee was arrested Wednesday for allegedly hiding cameras in women’s bathrooms at a VA office in Washington.
The suspect, Alex Greenlee, is charged with four counts of voyeurism.
According to the arrest warrant, a woman found a micro camera “surreptitiously hidden” under the bathroom stall next to the one she was using on January 25. She said she saw Greenlee hanging around outside the bathroom on his phone, and he asked her if everything was okay. He then tried to enter the women’s bathroom, claiming to get paper towels, according to the document.
The police found another camera hidden in the same bathroom on January 28. After reviewing the recordings, investigators identified Greenlee as the suspect placing the cameras under the toilets, according to the arrest warrant.
The cameras had recorded five women, one of them multiple times. The fifth victim couldn’t be identified.

Oh my, I wonder if he sent these videos to Trump?
Charming.
In a day and age when you can get ALL the porn online, including peeper porn specifically created for guys with a fetish for watching girls on supposedly hidden cameras, I don’t understand why this sort of thing continues. I’m guessing it’s about the power trip because I don’t know what you’re seeing in the VA bathroom that’s better than what you can watch online for free…or so I’ve heard.
We’ve had a number of incidents where I work like this – technology is making it fairly easy. A co-worker was even arrested for it last year.
Without making this sound intolerant of other people’s fetishes, isn’t this sort of… eleven years old? I realize that since society tells us to hide certain parts of our body, that sends people the signal that people ought to desire seeing those body parts – but isn’t that because of their sexual function rather than their waste excretion function? Seem sort of like going to great pains to tape people blowing their nose or spitting – which I’m sure some people do and that’s fine – but Crickey!
Sounds right. I heard a psychologist term someone a “boundary violator” once. And as you point out these people have fetishized seeing the last few remaining things we still consider private. They have to have something they’re explicitly not supposed to see. And it could be a power thing, a degradation thing, I don’t know and I don’t want to know.
