Dana Caruso, 58, is the New Hampshire man accused of setting up a hidden camera in a Sanibel bathroom, is in Lee County.

Investigators said he recorded people in a family bathroom on Bowman’s Beach Park in Sanibel.

The charges suggest detectives have evidence that Caruso recorded both adults and as many as four kids with that hidden camera found in the bathroom.

Detectives believe Caruso planted a hidden camera inside a fake fire alarm and recorded unsuspecting adults and children. WINK News spoke with a criminal defense attorney who believes if the state can make its case, Caruso faces as many as 15 years in prison.

“Anytime that we’re talking about minors with anything, the government, in general, is a little bit more,” attorney Diego Gil said.
