Man accused of recording co-workers in restroom

A man who allegedly planted a camera in a unisex restroom at his east Vancouver workplace and recorded his co-workers appeared Tuesday in Clark County Superior Court.

Kyle S. Andrews, 31, of Vancouver faces 20 counts of voyeurism, a count for each victim police have identified in the video and audio recording. There are at least 10 other alleged victims who have not yet been identified, court records state. Andrews’ workplace is a private company and is not open to the public.

Between May 15 and 18, Andrews plugged in a spy camera and recorded his co-workers using the restroom. The recording also shows Andrews removing the device on two separate occasions and leaving with it. The camera was later discovered and the police were called, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed in Superior Court.

All of the victims denied giving consent to being recorded while using the restroom, court records said.

In an interview at the Vancouver Police Department’s East Precinct, Andrews admitted to planting the camera. He told investigators “he was stupid for doing so and regretted it,” the affidavit states.

Court records show that Andrews was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army. He’s been employed at the place of the incident for three years.

During Tuesday’s hearing, Judge Robert Lewis granted Andrews supervised release. He plans to hire his own attorney and will be arraigned June 2.
