Man arrested for allegedly installing camera in shower at Kapolei gym

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Honolulu police arrested a man on Wednesday for allegedly installing a hidden camera inside a bathroom at a Kapolei martial arts gym.

Police officials say the attempted invasion of privacy happened at the Caveirinha Jujitsu Families Academy on Shangrila Street.

The incident was first reported Tuesday evening, when a 41-year-old woman reported finding a camera in the bathroom where she was taking a shower. Police officials later said that the hidden camera was found attached to a mop handle.

Police say the suspect in the case, 36-year-old Gabe Torres, was confronted by the woman and later apologized. He was arrested around 2 p.m. Wednesday on suspicion of violation of privacy.

Torres, according to police, is a student at the academy. The woman also reported the incident the school’s owner, authorities say.

Torres has since been released pending investigation.
