Video Voyeurism: Sunglass Hut manager charged after taping woman using shop bathroom

On Wednesday, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) reported charging a store employee in Destin, Florida, with video voyeurism, a third-degree felony, after a woman found his cell phone recording her using the business’ bathroom one day earlier.  The store employee told the victim she could use the restroom if she needed to, although it is not open to the general public.

On Monday, OCSO arrested 47-year-old Ernest Moschino of Crestview at the Sunglass Hut shop on Harbor Boulevard.  The OCSO arrest report lists Moschino’s job title as “manager” of the Sunglass Hut shop, according to WKRG.

The victim said she spotted the phone and found it was recording her live in the bathroom while she was using the toilet. She confirmed it was recording, sent the video to her own phone, and then deleted it from the defendant’s phone. She left without confronting Moschino and immediately contacted the OCSO.

Deputies say the video clearly shows Moschino start the recording and put the phone in a back corner of the bathroom, placing a black item which turned out to be a plastic bag around it to try to conceal it.

When confronted, deputies said that the video voyeur replied, “I’m sorry” and asked if he could speak to the victim.
