Man accused of filming co-workers in employee locker room

A former employee at a Vancouver pizza joint is accused of filming co-workers with his cellphone in the business’ shared employee locker room.

Perry D. Beaver III, 20, of Vancouver appeared Tuesday on a summons in Clark County Superior Court for a charge of voyeurism stemming from the Dec. 1 incident, court records show.

The mother of one of the victims reported that her daughter came home in tears after her shift. The girl, then 17, told her mother that a co-worker found Beaver’s phone video recording in the shared employee locker room, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed in Superior Court.

The co-worker who discovered the phone said she was changing in the locker room at the end of her shift when she noticed a cellphone sitting in Beaver’s shoe with the camera facing up. The 18-year-old said she thought “it looked weird” so she picked up the phone and saw that it was recording. She pushed the stop button and deleted the video, and then noticed there were more videos, the affidavit said.

She told investigators that she didn’t watch the videos but could tell from the still pictures that they were taken in the locker room, court records state.

Afterward, she alerted the other girl, who told investigators that on numerous occasions she noticed Beaver’s cellphone sitting in his shoe in the locker room but hadn’t thought anything of it, according to court documents.

Text messages sent from Beaver’s phone to former co-workers stated, “I think you and everyone else at (the business) likely know what I did … and wondered why … why Perry would do something like this, and to tell you the truth, I don’t know. I made many mistakes in my life, and this really makes those look dumb,” the affidavit reads.

Beaver is scheduled to be arraigned June 30, during which time the court will confirm whether he has counsel.
