\"On<\/a>
On July 9, a child discovered a cellphone taped to the pipe lining of a sink in the women’s restroom at the Starbucks in the 800 block of West Avenue K in Lancaster. Detectives recovered a photo of the suspect from the phone and arrested Antonio Serrano July 16.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

LANCASTER \u2013 A 38-year-old transient accused of secretly recording females using the toilet at a Lancaster Starbucks, among other locations, was charged Monday with 19 criminal counts, including possession of child pornography, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n

Antonio Serrano<\/strong> aka Juan Antonio Lizardi<\/strong> faces seven felony charges \u2013 three counts of possession of child or youth pornography; two counts of second-degree commercial burglary; and one count each of counterfeit seal and identity theft, according to Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami.<\/p>\n

The criminal complaint also lists a dozen misdemeanor charges, including trespassing and invasion of privacy.<\/p>\n

Serrano entered a \u201cnot guilty\u201d plea Monday. He was ordered back to court on July 30, when a date is expected to be set for a hearing to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to proceed to trial.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said the video recordings were made between May 1 and July 16 and were not limited to the Starbucks restroom. Four adults and four minors were videotaped in restrooms at the Lancaster Starbucks, Chuck E. Cheese, Olvera Street and at a mall in the Antelope Valley, Hatami said.<\/p>\n

A criminal investigation began July 9 after a female customer reported that a cellphone was under a sink inside the single-occupancy women\u2019s restroom at the Starbucks located at 855 West Avenue K in Lancaster, according to Deputy Joshua Stamsek of the Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station.<\/p>\n

The cellphone — which was taped to the restroom sink’s pipe lining and positioned to record patrons using the toilet — was spotted by the woman\u2019s 5-year-old son, officials said.<\/p>\n

Detectives recovered a photo of Serrano from the phone and arrested Serrano on July 16, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Detectives also discovered that Serrano was in possession of a government document with a false seal, additional cellphones and subscriber identity module (SIM) cards; and Serrano told detectives that he had been recording women and children using the restroom for a couple of months, which was confirmed by evidence found on the recovered cellphones and SIM cards, sheriff\u2019s officials said previously<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If convicted as charged, Serrano faces a possible maximum sentence of 17 years and four months in state prison.<\/p>\n

Bail was set at $175,000.<\/p>\n

The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Lancaster Station.<\/p>\n
