A Manhattan man has been charged with unauthorized video recording a month after police searched his home amid an investigation into reports of a concealed camera spotted there at New Year’s Eve party.
According to Manhattan police, it was alleged that a concealed camera was found hidden inside a bathroom in a residence in the 24400 block of Arrowhead. A search warrant was executed at the property on January 6, and on Wednesday the suspect, identified as Manhattan resident Jonathan Wisniewski, was taken into custody. The camera was alleged to have captured footage of both minors and adults without their consent or knowledge, police said.
The 44 year old faces 14 counts of felony unauthorized video recording including nine felony charges of unauthorized video recording of a child. He also faces five counts of unauthorized video recording of an adult, a Class 4 felony.
He is being held in detention pending a hearing this week, prosecutors said.
Anyone who may be a victim of a similar crime, or anyone with additional information related to this investigation is encouraged to contact the Manhattan Police Department at 815-478-3226.
