MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- A Midland man was arrested Wedensday after he allegedly hid a ring camera inside a woman's bedroom closet. 35-year-old Jonathan Parrish Aiguier has been charged with Invasive Visual Recording, a State Jail Felony.
According to the arrest affidavit, which was redacted and limited due to a pending federal case concerning crimes against children, on November 3, a woman saw a surveillance camera hidden inside a basket on the shelf in her bedroom closet and unplugged it before her estranged husband, Aiguier, began to call and text while apologizing for the camera, leading her to believe that he had been watching her.
Police reports added that Aiguier does not live in the home due to a pending federal case concerning crimes against children.
According to official reports, Aiguier said he "only wanted to watch [her] brush her hair and put her makeup on. " However, the woman told police it was "common knowledge" that she undresses and gets dressed in the closet and does not brush her hair or do her makeup in that area either.
