PALMDALE \u2013 A 33-year-old Palmdale man who allegedly dressed as a woman while secretly videotaping females using a department store bathroom was charged with several misdemeanor counts Tuesday, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Jason Pomare<\/strong> was charged with six counts of unlawful use of a concealed camera for the purposes of sexual gratification, according to Sergeant Brian Hudson of the Los Angeles Sheriff\u2019s Department\u2019s Special Victims Bureau.<\/p>\n

The charges stem from an incident that occurred Saturday afternoon (May 11) at Macy\u2019s Department Store in the Antelope Valley Mall.<\/p>\n

Detectives said Pomare disguised himself in women\u2019s clothing, wearing a bra with gel pads and a dark shoulder-length wig, and then snuck into the bathroom at Macy\u2019s with a miniature video camera concealed in a bag.<\/p>\n

Pomare allegedly slid the bag underneath stalls in order to secretly videotape women as they were using the toilet, detectives said.<\/p>\n

A woman spotted the setup and contacted store security.<\/p>\n

“Macy\u2019s Department Store Security Officers were contacted by a customer<\/a> who complained about a man in the woman\u2019s restroom who was acting suspiciously,” Hudson said.<\/p>\n

The security officers reported the incident to a nearby deputy from Palmdale Sheriff\u2019s Station, as Pomare scurried from the bathroom and out of the store, detectives said.<\/p>\n

A deputy was patrolling in the parking area of the Antelope Valley Mall when he saw a male exit the Macy\u2019s Department Store matching the description that had been provided to him, Hudson said.<\/p>\n

Pomare ran from deputies, but he was nabbed minutes later hiding underneath a tractor trailer near the store\u2019s loading dock, officials said.<\/p>\n

A purse was seized from Pomare, which contained a video camera, a mirror and a roll of duct tape, officials said.<\/p>\n

Pomare admitted to deleting some of the images while he was fleeing from deputies, however, his video camera still contained footage of a female sitting on the toilet using the bathroom, officials said.<\/p>\n

Pomare was arrested Saturday afternoon and booked at Palmdale Sheriff\u2019s Station. \u00a0The Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office filed charges against Pomare on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information regarding this crime should contact the Los Angeles Sherriff\u2019s Department Special Victims Bureau and speak with Sergeant Brian Hudson at 562-619-1370.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/span>: After pleading not guilty to the charges on Tuesday, Pomare’s bail was set at $125,000, according to court records. Unable to make bail, Pomare was remanded to the Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles. He is due back in court on June 6, for a preliminary hearing on the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
