planting a video recording device under a bathroom door<\/a>, which recorded the 23-year-old victim.<\/p>\nDetectives said the victim discovered the device on June 28 and reported the incident to law enforcement on Monday.<\/p>\n
Authorities said the victim claimed she first became suspicious of Maya last year when she caught him lying on the floor immediately outside the bathroom door as she was showering.<\/p>\n
The woman said that as she exited the shower, she noticed a small black object underneath the bathroom door, but she initially thought it was an insect because she wasn\u2019t wearing her glasses or contact lenses.<\/p>\n
According to the warrant, the victim said Maya quickly stood up as she opened the bathroom door, and claimed that he had been fixing a motion-activated night light near the bathroom.<\/p>\n
The warrant states that the victim was suspicious, but initially dismissed the incident.<\/p>\n
According to the warrant, the victim continued noticing a small black object appearing underneath the bathroom door as she showered and she told her mother about her suspicions.<\/p>\n
Detectives said the victim\u2019s mother suggested placing a cellphone in the laundry room to record what was happening and confirm her suspicions.<\/p>\n
According to the warrant, the victim did so and her cellphone captured Maya placing a recording device underneath the bathroom door as she was showering.<\/p>\n
Detectives said the victim\u2019s mother confronted Maya on June 28 and he provided some kind of admission, although his full comments to her were redacted from the publicly released warrant.<\/p>\n
Detectives said the victim\u2019s mother told her one of the videos showed her buttocks, while the other recordings were blurry.<\/p>\n
Records show Maya was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at about 7:50 p.m. Tuesday. He has since been released on bond.<\/p>\n
North Miami Beach Police Chief Juan Pinillos announced Maya\u2019s resignation Thursday night and said his resignation was effective immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile his resignation concludes his employment with the department, it does not change the seriousness of the allegations or our commitment to accountability,\u201d Pinillos said in a statement. \u201cBased on the information available, I had already determined that termination was the appropriate course of action.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe public deserves a police department that upholds the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and public trust. We remain committed to transparency and will continue to hold every employee accountable to those standards.\u201d<\/p>\n
