Police: 200 Hooters applicants taped undressing
No charges filed; company says its investigating too

WEST COVINA, California (AP) -- Nearly 200 women who applied for jobs at a Hooters restaurant were secretly videotaped in a trailer while they undressed to put on a Hooters uniform, police said.

Authorities raided the trailer last month and seized a computer that held 180 digital videos of the women, ages 17-25, Lt. Mark Dettor said.

"None of us suspected we would find that many videos, and we are dealing with victims who are shocked and feel betrayed," he said.

Hooters is a national chain known for its scantily clad waitresses, who wear low-cut tank tops and shorts. The restaurant in West Covina, about 18 miles outside of Los Angeles, was scheduled to open in April.

No charges have been filed, Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney, said Friday.

Justin Johl, a lawyer for Hooters, said the company was outraged and was conducting its own investigation.

Police also searched the home of Juan Aponte, 32, a former manager for a Hooters in Pasadena. He has not been arrested or charged, and his lawyer, Brian Michaels, declined to comment on the investigation.

Hmm... women are surprised that they were being taped, yet they're willing to work for an employer that requires the outfits that they do?

The video taping was an invasion of privacy moron.

No kidding. I guess I just understand the way men think and don't trust a single one of them. I'm surprised women do

and the problem is...? i don't see why willing to work for hooters means you should expect to have hidden cameras in the changing rooms...

Well, yes? Should they feel less outrage that they were taped, while undressing, without their consent, because they're applying for a Hooter's job? There's never an excuse for that kind of invasion of privacy.

That's irrelevant. Why should they expect cameras in their dressing room?

Oh, yes, resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.






Bitch.

lol Orsorum. I dunno. If I were female (which I'm accused of frequently), I wouldn't expect it, but I also wouldn't be surprised if the dirty men who run the place pulled a stunt like that.

LOL! When I saw the thread, I finished reading his post and promptly edited my profile before posting in the thread. Did you post before me? Oh well. Everybody used to put things like "Anandtech Subscriber" in their signature and petitioned other subscribers to do the same. Maybe we should petition that everyone put that in their sig too

Not sure? Technically, Hooters is not a pornographic employer so the only requirements for age would be set by the state. Here in OR, you can get a job at age 14 if your employer gains a permit. Age 15 allows you to work anywhere provided that you're not directly involved with selling alcohol.

Yeah....why not? It's bad to see a pic of a 17 year old, but if you wait a year she magically changes and it's ok then? It's not like he is asking for pics of 12 year olds or something....are you just easily disgusted?

I guess it's just totally weird to want to see pics of 17-25 year old hot chicks right?

Hmm.. I'm not sure of the law on pictures per se, but.. the age of consent is less than 17 in many states.. heh.

Oregon isn't one of them.
