Below is the google translate of the article.  The article has pictures of the camera and set up.

The affidavit from FBI agent John Auchter, who handled the case, alleges that Froias boarded Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas cruise ship in Miami, Florida, on April 29 for a seven-day voyage.

He adds that when the ship was sailing in international waters, "Froias installed a hidden Wi-Fi camera in a public restroom on the stern of Harmony's upper deck." He specifies that he located it in "a section of the wall above the door that had been removed to repair it."

 

According to the FBI complaint, it was not until May 1, at about 7:00 p.m., when "another passenger noticed the hidden camera and reported it to the Harmony crew." Then, the security personnel occupied it.

The FBI affidavit in Federal Court includes photos of the tiny camera and where it was hidden.

The document narrates that the crew found the alleged owner of the camera after inspecting it, when they saw that it had a card to store the recordings. He added that by reviewing the contents, the ship's security was able to see that it had "several hours" of video files.

 

“Initial videos show Froias hiding the camera and adjusting the camera angle to focus on the toilet area. Froias is also seen taking his Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max out of his pocket and appears to be connecting the phone to the hidden camera via Wi-Fi. Froias then comes out of the bathroom," the FBI said.

"The other videos on the camera show more than 150 individuals, including what appears to be at least 40 minors," the complaint added.

 

t also indicates that these people "are seen going into the bathroom to use the toilet or to put on or take off their bathing suits."

"Froia's camera captured these individuals in various stages of nudity, including capturing video of their genitalia, buttocks, and female breasts," the FBI complaint said.

 

That same day, around midnight, cruise ship security interviewed Froias, who "admitted to having placed the hidden camera in the bathroom."

The defendant stated at that moment that he knew that the camera had been found because it was not there when he went to look for it on the afternoon of May 1.

The FBI intervention occurred later, when the cruise docked in San Juan yesterday, May 3.

 

The federal agent who filed the complaint indicated that he personally reviewed the videos and claims to have seen minors who could be up to 5 years old, as well as Froia arriving to "adjust the angle of the camera" on May 1 and observing the transmission. of the images on your iPhone phone.

This 'person' worked in IT for a Central Florida city for 16 years. Wonder if his 'predilection' existed the entirety of his now ended employment and beside his own sick gratification, was he selling this stuff to various dark and mainstream websites that cater to others with the same 'interests'?

Convict and jail him? Throw him under the jail.........😡

Real Darwinian move, too. Planting a video camera in a public space on a cruise ship with extensive video surveillance. Pure genius.

I’m shocked the WiFi worked for him to do this.  It’s been miserable on so many sailings.

I understand his wife bailed him out.  Shameful
