New York man placed hidden cameras inside public park restroom; captured pornographic images of children
Fox News
John Towers is accused of secretly recording women and girls in the bathroom of a park in Putnam County, New York where he worked for twenty years.
Towers allegedly used the planted cameras to capture "prepubescent minors" and females using the bathroom. Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
"John Towers’s alleged disturbing conduct violated the public’s trust by placing hidden cameras in a public bathroom and using those cameras to capture sexually explicit images of children," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said. "As today’s arrest shows, we will use every tool available to law enforcement to investigate and prosecute those alleged to have sexually exploited children." She is a native of Massachusetts and is based in Orlando, Florida.
