PORTLAND — After being fired from Kaiser Permanente on accusations of recording co-workers in the bathroom, pharmacist Johnny Tuck Chee Chan was arrested again last week and accused of hiding a camera in the bathroom of his new workplace.
The Multnomah County District Attorney’s office added 27 charges to 71 they announced last month.
Chan, 37, is accused of recording 51 men and women between December 2016 and November 2017 at a Kaiser Permanente pharmacy office in the 5700 block of Northeast 138th Avenue. The Multnomah County District Attorney’s office said Chan placed a camera in the employee bathroom and caught at least 28 in states of undress.
The original 71 charges also included the accusation that he purposely produced a sexually explicit recording of a child and was charged with five counts of possessing child pornography.
A Kaiser employee discovered the hidden camera in November 2017. The facility notified police, who launched a yearlong investigation. Chan was subsequently fired.
But prosecutors announced new charges last week. They say Chan also placed a camera at a shared workspace in the Kaiser Permanente office that was angled so that it captured images of women under their skirts when they sat there. He is also accused of attaching a tiny camera to his shoe so that it would do the same when he walked around public places.
After Chan was fired from Kaiser, he then got hired at the Banana Republic store at Cascade Station in Northeast Portland.
He was arrested there on Nov. 26 on a warrant from his time at Kaiser.
During the arrest, police searched the Banana Republic store and found a camera in the employee bathroom.
The camera, which was concealed to face the toilet, made 173 videos of 27 different employees, including three minors, prosecutors say.
Chan was arrested again Dec. 7 and held at the Multnomah County Detention Center on a $2 million bail.
He is now charged with three counts of encouraging child sexual abuse in the first degree, three counts of encouraging child sexual abuse in the second degree, 25 counts of invasion of personal privacy in the first degree, and two counts of invasion of personal privacy in the second degree.
