Feminist attorney Gloria Allred has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a 22-year old woman who found out a Best Buy Geek Squad employee was filming her in the shower.
The suit alleges that the technician situated his mobile phone on the woman's cluttered bathroom sink during a computer service call March 4 and recorded her showering.
"According to the suit, Chi came to the family's home last month for a scheduled computer appointment. After starting to work, he asked to use the bathroom and was shown to one shared by Vasquez and her 13-year-old sister, Kelly Rocha, the lawsuit said.
Vasquez later showered in the same bathroom. When she stepped out of the stall, she noticed a cell phone propped against the faucet handles of her cluttered sink, the suit said. The phone was covered in a leather case; a small camera with a red, blinking light was sticking out, she said.
Suspicious, Vasquez left the bathroom to tell her sister Kelly, and when she returned, the phone was gone. Kelly then found the phone in her bedroom. Believing the phone was programmed to record her as well, she removed its memory chip, and she and Vasquez took it to a Verizon store to see what was on it."
