A former employee of the John Ball Zoo is said to have hidden a cell phone in a dustpan in order to take videos up the skirts of women who tried to enjoy the sight of the animals.
Under the Skirt Video
I’ve always wondered how someone could have the nerve to violate a woman’s privacy in public or try to secretly take photos up her skirt.
We constantly hear about hidden cameras in women’s restrooms and even schoolgirls’ restrooms.

Legendary musician Chuck Berry was accused of installing hidden cameras in his restaurant, but his guilt was never proven in court. Berry said he installed the cameras to catch someone stealing from the restaurant. However, after several women accused him of the crime, Berry decided to file a class action lawsuit and paid $1.2 million.
Former John Ball Zoo employee allegedly took photos in skirts while working at the zoo
The John Ball Zoo is a lovely place for families to see animals, eat well and spend the day together.
According to WOOD, former John Ball Zoo employee Steven Edward Pook is charged with two counts of misusing a computer to commit a crime and two counts of taking and distributing an image of an unclothed person.
Pook was allegedly observed following women holding the dustpan at their feet and recording videos under their skirts. Investigators used a search warrant to check Pook’s phone and discovered videos under the women’s skirts. There was even footage of him adjusting camera settings.
Pook will learn his fate when he appears in court in September.
