'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.
