'I Felt ... Dirty Because He Did This When I Was
Naked'

LOS ANGELES -- A woman and her daughter filed a
lawsuit Wednesday against Best Buy's Geek Squad in
connection with a computer technician accused of
videotaping the daughter while she was in the shower.

The mother said she hired the tech, who faces criminal
charges, March 2 at the Best Buy in Industry.

Natalie Fornaciari said the technician used her
daughter's bathroom and positioned a cell phone camera
in the room to capture video of the 22-year-old woman
while she showered.

"I was shocked and felt angry and upset for my
daughters when I learned what was on the video,"
Fornaciari said. "I felt disgusted because he was in
my girls' home and in their bedrooms. I worried about
what he might do. Was he going to put the video on the
Internet and expose my daughters?"

The 22-year-old's younger sister found the camera. She
removed the memory chip from the phone and the family
viewed the recorded video.

Fornaciari said the images showed the 22-year-old
woman in the shower.

"I was very happy that I was able to help police with
this evidence," said Kelly Rocha, the woman's younger
sister.

The family called police and the technician was
arrested.

"I couldn't believe this was happening to me," said
Sarah Vasquez. "I felt embarrassed and dirty because
he did this when I was naked."
Best Buy provided this statement: "Best Buy was not
informed of this action prior to being contacted by
the media today. Obviously, we intend to cooperate
fully with any investigation."

The technician was charged with two counts of invasion
of privacy.

The family's lawsuit alleges fraud, negligent
misrepresentation, negligent hiring, invasion of
privacy and intentional infliction of emotional
distress.

I don't have a problem with voyeurism that involves looking in a window somebody left open, but I do have a problem with taking advanatage of a position of trust. This guy was a creep and deserves whatever he gets (including the loss of his job)

How was this guy expecting to get the camera back I wonder. I do love newspapers and their headlines where it makes it sound like the entire Geek Squad are getting sued when it just happens to be an employee, not the company.

The media no longer lets the facts get in the way of a good story.

what kind of prude was this woman? "I felt embarrassed and dirty because he did this when I was naked." I mean, hell, even if someone taped me taking a shower I'd just consider it a practical joke and punch the person in the face, the end.

I find that entire story hard to believe....we need video evidence and ill believe it

Thing is though she will probably get about 50,000 out of this. I would act shocked and dis stressed to.
