WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — Polk County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested a 43-year-old Winter Haven man for secretly photographing a 15-year-old girl who had been visiting his home, authorities said.
Domingo Velez is being charged with video voyeurism, the sheriff's office said in a news release. He reportedly admitted to detectives using a digital watch to take pictures of the nude teen without her knowledge while she was in the bathroom.
Velez was arrested at his home after photos of the girl on his cell phone were discovered by another person living with him, deputies said.
Once deputies obtained search warrants, they reportedly found more photos and videos in other homes and at the Home Depot south of Lakeland where Velez said he works. The target of these videos were women in skirts and dresses, the sheriff's office said.
In the release, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd stated that the investigation is ongoing.
"Our detectives have more people to speak with, and the seized electronic devices will be forensically searched for additional images and videos," Judd stated in the release.
People are asked to call the sheriff's office at 863-298-6200 if they have more information about Velez or this case.
"He needs to be held accountable for his criminal conduct," Judd said.
