Man pleads guilty to filming co-worker in Vancouver locker room

A former employee at a Vancouver pizza joint was sentenced Thursday to 20 days on a work crew after pleading guilty to filming a female co-worker with his cellphone in the business’ shared employee locker room.

Perry D. Beaver III, 21, pleaded guilty to second-degree voyeurism, a gross misdemeanor, in Clark County Superior Court.

According to an affidavit of probable cause, the mother of the victim reported that her daughter came home in tears after her shift on Dec. 1, 2016. The girl, then 17, told her mother that another co-worker found Beaver’s phone video recording in the shared employee locker room.

The co-worker who discovered the phone said she was changing in the locker room when she noticed it sitting in Beaver’s shoe with the camera facing up. She said she thought “it looked weird” so she picked up the phone and saw that it was recording. She stopped the recording and deleted the video. However, she then noticed there were more videos taken in the locker room, the affidavit said.

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.

Beaver declined to make a statement to the court Thursday. But his attorney, Angus Lee, said his client has learned his lesson.

As part of his sentence, Beaver will have two years of probation and must undergo sexual deviancy treatment.
