Police: Man put video cameras in women's restrooms at work, church

Police in East Hartford, Conn., have arrested a man accused of videotaping women in restrooms at his place of work and his church.


According to police, Darrel Lewis admitted to putting two video cameras in the women's restroom at Peening Technologies. Lewis is employed as a process engineer at the company, which is at 8 Eastern Park Road in East Hartford.

Lewis also admitted to putting a camera in the women's restroom at his church, the Faith Family Church in Glastonbury, police said. One of his victims at the church was an 11-year-old girl, according to police. Lewis began placing the camera in the church bathroom in 2009, police said.


In all, nine victims were captured on video, according to police.

Investigators said Lewis also told them he put a camera in the women's restroom in a Tim Hortons cafe in Rocky Hill when he worked there.

yeah, he is a pervert. And Bob Connors and Ilana Gold engaged in a twisting of the truth to get people to read their scant reporting, and once again, use it as a vehicle to bash people of faith.

    I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that someone with a peeing fetish worked at a place called Peening.

              This is one sick and demented guy. He belongs in mental institution, sicko! Hope he is prosecuted to the full extent of the law, just disgusting he is a pervert, stalker and pedophile and who knows where he has posted the videos he took in bathrooms, may add pornographer to the list. One victim an 11 year old girl, glad he got caught before something tragic happened to one of his victims. Hope all 9 victims file suit, keep his guy off the streets..

              Clearly a female response. In fact, hidden camera porn is very popular on the internet...which means...a lot of men like it.

              just disgusting he is a pervert, stalker and pedophile and who knows where he has posted the videos he took in bathrooms,

              I'll give you pervert...but stalker? Pedophile? I don't know how you came to these conclusions. Stalking is following someone around, not video taping a bathroom. Pedophilia is sexual attraction to sexually immature people, there's no evidence of that yet, despite the fact that an 11 year old was caught on the camera. He had no control over who went into the restroom.

              One victim an 11 year old girl, glad he got caught before something tragic happened to one of his victims.

              There's no evidence that he intended physical harm to anyone. You're paranoid.

              Just because something is popular on the internet and men like it, doesn't make it not perverted or demented. It's a violation of someones privacy and it's against the law. It may be a typical female response, but it is the correct response. It should bother you that some guy thinks it's ok to film and/or check out random women being violated in this manner. These women, that could be your mother, sister, wife or daughter, have not given their consent to this men or guys on the internet. Liking something doesn't make it right. And, if you're willing to violate someone's privacy in this manner, you are capable of anything in my opinion. No different than a peeping tom, hiding in the dark staring into someone's home. These crimes escalate. I work with LEO and escalating behavior isn't unusual. She isn't paranoid, you have your head in the sand.

              Back when that poor female sportscaster was illegally filmed and her image was put online, I felt so terrible for her. And I felt nothing but disgust for the men that thought it was ok to view the image, as if she hadn't been violated enough.

              Just because something is popular on the internet and men like it, doesn't make it not perverted or demented.

              But the statement that I was addressing was this: He belongs in mental institution, sicko!

              Not whether or not it's perverted and demented.

              No different than a peeping tom, hiding in the dark staring into someone's home. These crimes escalate. I work with LEO and escalating behavior isn't unusual. She isn't paranoid, you have your head in the sand.

              I do not have my head in the sand. These crimes might escalate, but we don't prosecute people for what they *might* do. We prosecute them for what they've done. Working with law enforcement, I would think you'd know the difference.

              Back when that poor female sportscaster was illegally filmed and her image was put online, I felt so terrible for her.

              He did not put it the video he took on the internet...at least the article makes no mention of this. So creating a relationship between these two incidents is just you imaging the worst, not what was actually done.

              This article was posted, headlined on NBC News, and written the way it was to inflame passions against a people group. Bob Connor and Iliana Gold are the journalists and this is trash journalism.

              It's not that it didn't happen. It's that they manipulate it to make it more egregious, more inflammatory, and misdirected. Remember the heading you clicked on? It said nothing about him doing the same thing at work but say he did it in a church, and wow, all kinds of reaction, and against people of faith and the God we love more than life.

              And the idiotic have no restraint on their slanderous statements.

                          Christians have some of the WORST morals.

                          But then what can you expect from people who cling to a book where their beloved 'god' calls for the slaughter of all the men, women, and male children of a village but to keep the virgin females for themselves.

                          Hey now, would you rather have him physically go into the rest rooms to watch women go potty live & in person? At least he had the decency to hide the cameras. Sheesh! The only thing that went wrong was somebody discovering them and violating his freedom of speech! Good gosh, what is this country coming to?

                                  Not everyone who goes to church is a Christian and Christians live according to the New Testament, which is based on love and forgiveness as taught by Christ, not the Old Testament which is a history of the Jewish people and a God of revenge and violence (according to the writers which hopefully is not the truth). There is a huge difference between saying you are a Christian and actually being a Christian so please don't blanket condemn Christians and people of faith on the basis of someone who SAYS he is a Christian and lives an unChristian life. I agree with the person who said that someone who jokes and thinks is funny is just as sick as the perpetrator. I think ProFreedom's comments are truly pathetic and disgusting.
