In addition to the dark sensor connected to the Internet, a cable and a small battery were visible, although it was covered with toilet paper.
“It made me sick. I tried not to admit it. Whoever did it won. Now he has me,” confirmed the visitor, who did not want to give her name, to the BBC news service. She only revealed that she works in the state health service and that she is the mother of one child.
“The idea that someone was watching me in such an intimate moment is terrifying. It’s extremely uncomfortable to know that someone has that recording. And there were a lot of people there,” added the woman who informed the restaurant staff about the discovery.
The latter subsequently informed the police, who secured the camera and questioned the employees of the company in an attempt to identify the perpetrator. Criminal investigators are also evaluating footage from security cameras.
“We are cooperating fully with the police. We have asked staff to be vigilant,” confirmed a spokesman for the chain, which operates the Giggling Squid.
According to her words, the woman is now trying to get people to take a good look at the room and its equipment when visiting toilets in restaurants or in public places.
“When I talked to people about it, they all told me that they never thought about such a thing. Nobody looks under the toilet seat,” she said. “But maybe it will help people detect such a thing before it’s too late,” she added.
