Man Taped Roommates in Shower, Police Say

MANCHESTER, Conn. (March 22) - A man landed in hot water after police say he hid a tiny camera in a shampoo bottle to watch two of his female roommates as they took showers.

 

A male roommate, curious why the shampoo wasn't moved for some time, found wires protruding from the back of the bottle, then called police, authorities said.

 

The camera recorded through a pinhole, and the images were sent to Steven Thibodeau's television, police said. Thibodeau, 25, had placed the camera to record the women showering and made video of one of them changing clothes, according to police.

 

Thibodeau was arraigned Wednesday on 15 counts of voyeurism and one count of evidence tampering, which alleges he tried to delete some images.

 

He was being held in jail on $250,000 bail. The defense attorney who attended his arraignment was out of the office Thursday and could not be reached for comment.

 

Police said Thibodeau made a compilation video of one of the women, but they have no evidence he transferred the files to the Internet. It wasn't yet known how long the shampoo had been wired.

 

This sounds like a scheme worthy of Van Roy........

It's not very original of an idea. A Landlord in my hometown did that to one of his tennants and got prison time out of it. I knew the tennant. Her ex-husband worked with me years ago, now her son works with me.

This sounds like a scheme worthy of Van Roy........

Not quite.

 

1) I would have used a wireless camera. Wires protruding from a shampoo bottle are a dead giveaway.

 

2) My roommates are male.
