According to prosecutors, investigators found that Pearsall was responsible for placing hidden cameras in the locker room, which recorded both audio and video.
Prosecutors said Pearsall had been using the hidden cameras to record numerous videos over an 11-month period starting in Aug. 2024.
Pearsall served as a California State Parks superintendent from 2023 through July of 2025, when he retired after he was placed under investigation, prosecutors said.
According to investigators, 23 different men whose genitals or backsides were filmed by the hidden camera placed in the locker room by Pearsall have been identified.
He is also accused of sending several of the photographs he recorded to two men and making sexually-charged comments about his employees’ genitals, prosecutors said.
