Man, 19, Accused Of Using Cellphone To Videotape Another Man In Bathroom

CYPRESS (CBS) — Officials have arrested a 19-year-old man on suspicion of using a cell phone to videotape another man in a bathroom stall, a police sergeant said Wednesday.

Johnny Nguyen was arrested Tuesday afternoon after the man in the neighboring stall detained him, Cypress police Sgt. Robert Cote said.

The incident happened about 3:15 p.m. on the Cypress College campus, Cote said.

Nguyen allegedly told investigators that he had used the cell phone camera to get footage of other men two other times Tuesday and 15 more times over the past year on the campus, Cote said.

However, Nguyen was only booked on suspicion of a single misdemeanor count of peeping and then released on a citation to appear in court in Westminster May 2, Cote said.

Anyone who suspects they may have been a victim was asked to call (714) 229-6631.

Nguyen was not suspected of being the man who used a cellphone camera to record a woman in a bathroom stall on the campus February 13, Cote said.
