LANCASTER – A 22-year-old Lancaster man has been sentenced to six years in jail for secretly recording women at restaurant bathrooms in Palmdale and Lancaster, authorities announced Thursday.

Jesus Calvario pleaded no contest Wednesday, Feb. 1, to 18 misdemeanor counts — 14 counts of unauthorized invasion of privacy, three counts of unauthorized invasion of privacy of an identifiable person and one count of possession of methamphetamine, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Calvario also was placed on three years of summary probation and ordered to complete one year of sexual compulsion control classes, said Deputy District Attorney Yujin Yi.

The prosecutor said Calvario went into a Denny’s restaurant in Lancaster and a Mi Ranchito restaurant in Palmdale, between Oct. 21 and Nov. 15, 2016, entered the women’s restrooms and hid in the stalls.

Calvario would then record women from the bathroom stall or leave a device behind secretly recording them, the prosecutor added.

During the same time period, Calvario also secretly recorded his girlfriend’s mother, officials said.

A boyfriend of one of the victims attacked Calvario when he was discovered in November at the Denny’s restaurant located at 1028 W. Avenue I in Lancaster, according to deputies at the scene.

Calvario was taken into custody soon after.

The case was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Lancaster Station.

  1. To the person talking about toilet paper in trash…Had a guest from Britain, same thing. It depends what the regulations are were they live. Apparently my guests local town could not process the paper waste so it goes in trash.

  3. I was praying that this POS waste of space would get much more. We don’t need perverts like this roaming our streets. I hope someone takes care of him real nice where he’s going.

    • He’s not going to anywhere it’s all non violent misdemeanors he will be out in 3 year or less from la county Jail xd

      • Just an FYI typically you do not spend 3 years in jail. You spend 3 years in prison. Most sentences 364 days or less are spent in county and if your court date takes longer than a few months they can send you up to wasco or some other in between prison. This guy will probably also have to register as a sex offender. I doubt this guy will get treated nicely in Prison or let out in 3 years.

        What is scary is this man was previously arrested in 2015 and released in 2016 on a 364 day sentence. Was to be released in oct.

        • Just FYI Look him up on the lasd iate website he’s been sent to jail not prison and he’s projected release is October of this year.. Please get your facts straight becasuse in la county it does not work how you stated it.
