A 52-year-old man was found having been peeping at altogether 17 guests while they were using the bathroom. He was not just peeping; he also made recordings about the guests and many pornographic pictures about children were found on his computer too. The District Attorney’s Office of Kaposvár pressed charges against the man for ‘prohibited data acquisition resulting in significant violation of interests and child pornography’.

The man had drilled a hole in the wall between the bathrooms and the service passages connecting the apartments, thus he was able to introduce lipstick cameras into the openings and he was able to peep at the guests while they were using the shower cabins and the toilets.

 Between April and July of 2019, the defendant made secret recordings about 17 guests while they were using the toilet, changing their sanitary pads, or taking a shower, but there were instances, when he recorded couples having sex. Eventually, he was detected by two guests who noticed that in the place for a washing machine holes are visible and inside the openings, cameras were hidden.

Police officers of Fonyód took the man’s data carriers into evidence and they found more than 400 pornographic pictures about persons under the age of 18.

The prosecution submitted a proposal for the District Court of Kaposvár about a 3 years and 6 months imprisonment if the defendant pleads guilty.
