New York man allegedly placed hidden cameras in public park restroom; captured explicit images of children

A New York man secretly recorded hundreds of women and girls in a public restroom at a local park where he worked, federal prosecutors allege.

The U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of New York, said that 54-year-old John Towers planted hidden cameras in the ladies' room of a public park in Putnam County, New York — authorities declined to share the name of the public park.

Towers allegedly used the planted cameras to capture "prepubescent minors" and females using the bathroom.
