Monday, July 31, 2006

HUMBLE, Texas (AP) - A salon owner has been charged with videotaping unsuspecting nude customers in his salon's tanning booth, police said.

Douglas Dinh, 48, was charged Friday with improper videotaping at his Top Nails salon. Humble police said they found two video cameras and footage of customers while police were investigating a sexual assault allegation.


Dinh admitted to taping the customers, police said. Detective Eric Squier said one camera had been installed in the ceiling and another "pin-sized" camera was taped to the bottom of a chair and connected to a wireless remote.


Police confiscated several tapes and DVDs, and Dinh's computer and hard drive. They found footage of at least seven unidentified women, officials said.


Dinh remained in custody Sunday at Harris County Jail. His bond was set at $50,000.
