 William Zafra Velasco, 25 (GLENDORA POLICE DEPT.) |
25-year-old William Zafra Velasco, an unemployed student and resident of San Dimas, was arrested on May 4.
Velasco is accused of hiding a camera inside the women's restroom for two days (April 14 and 15) at a Starbucks located at 1832 E. Route 66.
The camera was disguised as a plastic coat hook and was affixed to a wall directly across from a toilet.
A Starbucks employee discovered the device and called police.
Shortly after, authorities arrested Velasco.
Police say Velasco downloaded the device about every hour to his laptop computer while sitting inside his car.
Detectives confiscated his laptop and say they found disturbing video of at least 45 female victims using the restroom, including children.
At this time, it does not appear that any of the videos were uploaded to the internet or distributed.
So far, police have identified 11 victims, but the department is requesting the public's help in identifying the other, 34 victims.
On Friday, May 20, police will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. on the front steps of the Glendora police station to request the public's assistance in identifying the remaining victims.
If you have any information or believe you were a victim of this crime, you're asked to call detectives at (626) 914-8250.
Meantime, Velasco faces felony charges for secretly videotaping victims for sexual gratification.
He posted $50,000 bail and is set to appear in court June 21.
