In an event that underscores the growing importance of detecting spying equipment, a lawyer in Vernal, Utah, was recently accused of voyeurism and harassment after employees found a video from a hidden camera in the restroom of his office.
Dennis L. Judd, 69 years old, faces two counts of voyeurism and one count of harassment, all classified as Class A misdemeanors, according to Uintah County District Court judicial documents. The charges were brought by the Utah Attorney General's office after an investigation that began in March, following an alert by employees of his firm.
A Disturbing Discovery
Investigators were called in after employees discovered printed pornographic photos and hidden memory cards in a personnel file folder. An employee viewed the contents of one of the SD cards and discovered a video showing Judd installing a camera in an air duct of the employee restroom. More disturbingly, the card also contained recordings of women, employed by Judd, using the restroom.
The investigation revealed that the camera had been removed from the duct mentioned in the video, but the surveillance didn't stop there. Photos of an employee, taken from her social media page, were found in a folder labeled with her name. This folder also contained duplicates of text messages and documents detailing conversations between Judd and the employee, his feelings of attraction towards her, and deductions about her private life.
The Employee's Reaction and Purchase History
The revelation of this information had a significant emotional impact on the concerned employee, who expressed not having known about this information collection by Judd. Furthermore, it was discovered that the employee had been tasked with ordering items for Judd on a shared Amazon account. The account history revealed several orders of small spy cameras, spanning from February 2021 to the end of the year.
