A Gainesville CVS Pharmacy manager was charged with video voyeurism after he admitted to using his cell phone to tape women in the store's bathroom Friday.
Jonathan Matheny, 27, worked at the CVS Pharmacy located on Southwest 34th Street and West University Avenue and told authorities he had captured footage of about 50 women over the last six months, according to GPD spokesman Lt. Keith Kameg.
According to Kameg, police were contacted by a 28-year-old victim who said she became suspicious when she noticed Matheny leaving the restroom on her way in.
The victim looked around and found a recording cell phone hidden under a pile of tissues, he said.
The woman confronted Matheny about the phone, but he denied knowing anything about it and told her he'd call the police, Kameg said.
When Matheny hesitated, the victim called GPD herself.
When police arrived, Matheny admitted to owning the cell phone and confessed that he had been recording women for months, Kameg said.
Matheny's computer and cell phone have been seized by GPD and are being examined, he said.
Anyone who thinks she may have been a victim or may have any information about this should call Det. Randy Roberts at 352-334-2470.
